Another day, more challenges....it seems we were doing so well for a while there. Eli's diaper rash continues to get worse...the wound care nurse came to give her tips of how to handle things. We are trying that and hoping for the best. Last night he began to run a temp and we gave him Tylenol more for the diaper rash pain than anything else. Well this morning he had spots all over him!! The rash continued to get worse into the morning and then he spiked a fever of 103 this afternoon. He was just so miserable!! We gave him some meds and now he is sleeping, but the rash is still there and they don't know if it is a reaction to an antibiotic or a virus. We are taking him off of some of the antibiotics and we will have to wait and see. Apparently it may take days...I was so enjoying having my happy boy back!!
Anyway, I wanted to update everyone. This is short because I am in the PICU waiting area and they are closing things down. Our computer at home is not working!! Please keep praying and I will try to let everyone know how this goes. Friday we have multiple procedures and his last round of chemo for this section of the treatment. I was thinking we might coast until then, but I guess not. Thanks.

I'm sorry to hear of another "extra" that seems to be a part of this war. I will pray for protection for Eli while this chemo not only lays waste to the disease, but also his standard physical defenses.
