堅持信靠的Brian's Blog

Thank you for your prayer. We are home sweet home since last night.

Our lovely Dr. Sun told Brian to go home right after his last chemo dose (first part of chemo) was done at noon 12pm. yesterday.

It's really hard for me as a mom to discharge from hospital with fever still spiking. But Dr. Sun very sure (99.9% sure, she said).

"This fever is from chemo's side effect and it's ok to go home for this symptom will go away within 24 hours. Stay home during the break will be better for recovery than in hospital. HGB 8.5. We can give him a bag of blood to help him more energetic. It's OK to go home today. Come back next Wednesday for 2nd part of chemo. Then you will need to stay for few weeks." she said. " Go home earlier to prepare the celebration for Sunday his big birthday. He will be an adult then."

Brian's ANC is good (2.2k). It's better than the day when chemo started which is 3 days ago. Mark agreed and Brian loved to go home too even though I had concerns.

So we left hospital last night. Fever still when we drove home at 9:30pm.
The fever kept happening 38.3c, 39c, 37.7c 39.1c with Tylenol only ( no antibiotic) last night and this morning until 10am. He sweated and the temperature started to come down. 37.7c, 37.2c, 36.9c, 36.6c..... He ate lunch ( udon soup) and just finished shower. He looks normal and back to regular routine now. Daddy just brought home his favorite

"Ajisen Miso Ramen". Dinner with movie family time. Home sweet home!

Thanks Dr. Sun for her boldly pushing us home.
