Sun March 21, 2010

Hi everyone! Well up until today Blake hadnt shown any side effects of the oral chemo. He woke up and within 30 min was throwing up. He threw up every 10-15 min for the following 3 1/2 hours. We tried giving him his anti-nausea med but within 5 min he would throw it up. We called our hema/onco on call nurse and she said to try giving Benadryl along with the zofran. The first time we tried it he threw it up within 5 min. So we waited 30 min and tried again. He threw it up again, but this time he seemed to be feeling better. After an hour he hadn't thrown up-and he was able to eat a few crackers and drink a little water. He is such a trooper. Ive never seen a little kid throw up without crying. He just leaned forward-threw up-then leaned back and rested until the next time. I felt SO bad for him. He is such a good kid. Through everything he amazes me. We had a super lazy day yesterday-and since Blake isnt feeling well-we are having another lazy day. lol. Im hoping the next 2 doses of procarbazine wont cause him to throw up. We are almost done with the oral chemo. So by 1:45 tonight we will be finished, then in 2 week we will go to his apt for vincristine. Thank you for the prayers and thoughts! I will let you know tomorrow how the rest of the night went. <3
