Quick Update - Admitted
He was admitted Monday morning because he was still running a fever (15 days) and had a new and improved rash. During all the lab workups at the hospital the docs found his platelets have taken a nose dive and are way below normal, but not critical enough for a transfusion yet (that was the doctor's phrase - like that is supposed to make me feel better). Tonight his platelets were slightly up and no fever but the rash is way worse. Infectious disease is following him and so is oncology. The Oncologist doesn't think it is leukemia but is doing a special platelet test tonight and going to check the smear. The IDC doc thinks it is viral but so far all the tests have come back negative. He is mostly comfortable and doing well, we're just really waiting to get some information. He may get to go home tomorrow if he doesn't run anymore fevers and oncology gives his morning labs an all clear. Mike is staying with him tonight so I can go to a Dr appt. early tomorrow morning (that I had already rescheduled once because he was in the hosp - pretty ironic isn't it?)

Sending prayers for a quick ticket out of there.Oh, Mr.Tomas ...keeping your momma on her toes aren't you?
ReplyDeleteOh my....this kid just won't give momma a break!! Wouldn't want you getting comfortable in life, would he? Have they ever done a bone marrow on him? Just seems like they have been toying around with wondering about his blood but it would seem that the bone marrow would give a more definitive reading of if anything "bad" is going on. I know Ella had them done a few times after her first birthday so they could keep a close eye on her. But the rash is something we never dealt with so maybe that is why they are looking in other directions. I hope you don't think I am trying to scare you....just letting you know what things we encountered. Praying you get an answer soon....because I KNOW you need to KNOW!!
ReplyDeletePraying it's nothing and the fever goes bye-bye :)
ReplyDelete"SIGH".................Followed by a prayer in your direction this morning!
ReplyDeletePraying that all tests come back clear and that the fever stays FAR AWAY!! Hope you're all home soon!!
