Today is Tuesday and its about 8:30 at night. And let me tell you, Travyn is doing SO much better then Thursday night. OH MY GOSH! that was scary!! The blood cultures came back and he did have an infection. They put him on antibiotics right away just in case, and sure enough the cultures grew an infection called "Psuedomonas Aeruginosa" which is a blood infection. They got the infection under control so fast with antibiotics that it didn't get any worse. They have been watching him very closly and taking his temp every hour just to make sure the infection doesn't come back. A high fever is one of the most common symptons of infections with chemo patients. But, my little Fighter has faught this infection and is doing so good. He has a really bad diaper rash right now because of the Chemo. The Chemo eats the good cells and he got "Mucositis" they are sores that go from the mouth all the way through the "Gastrointestinal Tract". They are suppose to be really painful, so he needs his pain meds on schedule, or he is not a happy camper. Travyn is so strong and is dealing with this awful disease better then any baby out there. ;) I honestly dont think I could ever go through what he has gone through. Its been a rough ride, but he is hanging tough and is determined to get well, I JUST KNOW IT!!! Jesus healed the blind and sick, IF THEY BELIEVED HE COULD HEAL THEM. And let me tell you, Travyn and I STRONGLY believe that God will heal and take this cancer from his little body so he can live a "CANCER FREE" life!!!! Travyn is doing awesome though and still smiles when he see's me or any of my family (and some Nurses). Travyn is wrapped up like a burrito right now ready for bed. He loves to be wrapped real tight!!!! lol
THANKS FOR YOUR LOVE AND SUPPORT EVERYONE!! YOUR PRAYERS HAVE BEEN HEARD AND WE HAVE SEEN MIRACLES IN MY BABY'S LIFE ALREADY!!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!
LOVE YOU ALL!!!
