Day 13

William's fluid are negative 100 from yesterday, he is still retaining a lot more from the previous week so the relieve is still not enough to eliminate any pressure. The nurse is going to talk to the Dr. to find out what our next plan of attack will be. Last night William's heart rate shot up to 172, his blood oxygen was 91 and his RESP rate was all of the chart. The doctors have placed William on a special "machine" that forces oxygen into his lungs and forces them to expand. Due to constipation and then sudden diarrhea William has hemorrhoids (his current biggest frustration) we cannot get him any sort of medication for it because it apparently does not "play well" with chemo. Poor Kiddo. He is so frustrated right now and I feel really helpless William's fever is currently at 102.5 f (37.1 c) The Doctors have changed his antibiotics and they have also given him several doses of Tylenol. I just got done processing some news that we received this morning from our ICU Dr. If William does not get rid of at least 500 cc of fluid by himself today then we will have no option but to place him in medical coma and insert tubes through his ribs into his lungs(both sides). The pressure from the fluid buildup is creating chaos in my little boy’s body and they need to get the fluid out ASAP. The risks we face with this procedure is as follows: -Surgery -Sedation -Infection -Lungs Collapsing -Infection Please pray! Take a few moments right now and call out to God that he heals my little boy. Pray that William's little body excretes all the fluid so that we can avoid such a risky surgery. Day 13, Part 3. Fever is gone! William is peeing! I did a PEE DANCE in the room with him a few minutes ago because his little bladder is working overtime!!!!!!!He is NEGATIVE on his fluid intake. I am waiting on the exact final number but it looks like we have avoided surgery!!!!!!! Thank you for all the prayers! Thank you for all the love! Thank you for all the beautiful e-mails and blog messages! We read them all to William. All of your devotion love and faith keeps him enthusiastic and upbeat! He will beat this stupid cancer! In the meantime your love and support is a huge part of our daily routine! Thank you!.. KEEP ON KEEPIN ON- LiveStrong!
