Hiya! It's been a crazy week.... We've all had a horrible cold & now Blake has it. On top of that, he had chemo last Wednesday so his immune system is toast. I'm not sure if I mentioned it but Blake has been running nightly fevers for a while now. We were told it was probably from the disease/tumor burden. Who knows but he's been running HIGH fevers this week! Early Monday morning, I touched his forehead and he was burning up! His temp was 103.5! We're supposed to call into the Oncs office if he has a temp over 100.4 - I called & was told he should start his antibiotics. We've had antibiotics on hand in case of this exact situation. Apparently it's a pretty strong antibiotic it's also used to fight Anthrax!
About 4 this morning, he was really hot again, 104.6. Thermometer broken? I checked it tonight & it seems to be in sync with an "ear canal" one we have. Wow, 104.6? That's crazy high. It's already up to 101 tonight.
I was told to call on Thursday if the fevers continue. Looks like I'll be calling.
Thoughts and prayers are appreciated.
Love, Kathy
