Frustration and Nerves.

Since Monday night, William has been inpatient at City of Hope.. On Monday morning William spiked a sudden high fever. Symptoms included stiff neck muscles, headache, dizziness, nausea, increased heart rate and low blood pressure. To rule out Meningitis, the doctor did a lumbar puncture and ordered blood tests.

I am relieved to say that the tests came back negative for meningitis. Williams blood tests did unfortunately test positive for Gram Positive bacteria in his blood. Actually, he tested positive for 2 Gram Positive infections.

The good news is that the antibiotics that have been prescribed will able to fight the infections and should have William healed in a few days. Unfortunately, the antibiotics will almost certainly cause the C-Diff to return. The return of C-diff will cause a delay in radiation.....SIGH.

I don't like postponing treatment. The thoughts and nightmares that come to mind about the disease relapsing is HORRIBLE.

Please pray that the cancer stays away and dead. Please pray that the blood infections are healed and that the C-diff does not return.

This is Williams journey and we will keep on keepin on with God in our hearts and His courage in our souls.
