Today is Friday and its about 6:00 at night. I cant even tell you how exhausted I am from being here at the hospital 24/7. Its like we are practicaly living here. But, thats OK I will do anything for my sweet baby. If I had to live in a cardboard box underneath a freeway pass for Travyn I would. Hospitals can emotionally and physically drain you. My heart goes out to these sweet children that are sick at Primary Childrens and can't really live a real childhood. But Primary Childrens has activities, crafts, and even video games. They want kids to know the hospital can be fun and not scary. Anyways, about My precious son Travyn. he is doing alot better then earlier. WOW!!! it sure was a tough and scary night. It first started off going to dinner and then my sister and I went to the Raskel Flatts concert, which was so much fun! The concert was put together amazing. (Thanks Linds) Its always nice getting out and taking a little break. When I got home it was about 10:30. I was so exhausted that right when I layed on my mom's bed, I was out!!! Everynight before I go to bed, I call Tray's nurse just to make sure everything is going OK for piece of mind, so I can sleep knowing he is doing good. Well, last night I fell asleep before calling Tray's nurse, so my mom called for me. I guess one of the On call doctors answered and my mom just simply asked how Tray was doing. The doctor then expressed his high concerns about Travyns 104'deg fever and how his heart rate was extremely high (over 200) The doctor said he was breathing really hard and sounded like he was grunting. He was concerned he could possibly have pneumonia. They did a chest x-ray and his lungs looked fine. Well, I woke up right at 2:00 am, and I had the worst feeling somthing was wrong with Tray. It was weird!! When I sleep at my moms house, I always sleep in her bed with her. Well, when I woke up she wasn't in bed and I could hear her talking on the phone in the guest bedroom. I walked in there and asked what was wrong. She said she was on the phone with Jayson (My Boyfriend) When she got off the phone, she told me what was going on. She said she called to see how Travyn was doing and the doctors told her he was not doing very well. But was doing alot better and his fever broke. I was all worried but my mom said everything was under control. When I was getting back in bed it was about 3:00 am and I wanted to call Tray's nurse for myself just to make sure he was still doing OK. When I called, the charge nurse answered and I asked for Trays nurse but she was busy in Trays room. She said Trays fever came back and was getting very sick and nauseated. I felt SO bad that I wasn't there to consoul and comfort my baby while he was sick. So i got dressed and went up to the hospital. I got to Primary Childrens about 4 am, and by then my poor little boy was asleep with all his cloths off besides his diaper. They had 3 cool packs around his head to keep him cool cause he was sooo warm and red from his fever. His feet were Ice cold and really pale. The doctor said thats a sign of infection in his body, along with the fever and high heart rate. They took some blood samples to culture to see if any bacteria would grow for infection. The infection specialists are pretty sure he has an infection from his own body bacteria. Which is very common when on Chemo. But, We haven't received the infections results back quite yet. I will let you know what they say as soon as they come back.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS EVERYONE!!! PLEASE CONTINUE TO PRAY, I KNOW HEAVENLY FATHER HEARS EACH AND EVERY PRAYER. AND YOU'LL NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH THEY MEAN TO US.
LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!!
GOD BLESS YOU!!
