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
Hope everything is good now after those high fevers. Think about both of you all the time.
