Today has been mixed emotions, Brody couldnt have the stem cell again, but went and had the CT scan. They also put a tube down into his lungs and put fluid in and then pulled the fluid back out. They want to see if he has something in his lungs causing this. He was under for over hour. Again i had to bite my tounge as a nurse from the CT department told Brody to be quiet and still for a moment while she was talking to another nurse. A big thank you to the other nurse, as she looks after Brody and told this nurse, he has Austium and cant sit still or be quiet as he is in a new area of the hospital. So you can see that Chantelle's story books have helped people understand Brody and not just think he is Naughty. There are more and more kids with Austium so please read up on it and do not judge anyone.
Some new Doc's come to visit today and said they are waiting for results from the fluid test in his lungs. They then might put a camera down and have a look, as the Doc said he had a quick look at CT scan and saw a mark on his lung. But wait a couple of days for results, as it could just be a fungal infection. Hope its nothing to bad. Couldnt handle any more bad news!
Good News!, Found out today as well, if Brody makes it through the time before his transplant his big brother Luke might be the person who donates. As they need to test Luke first to make sure he is physically fit, and healthy. If so they will use him. It might take us up to 8 months before transplant. I am so happy, but have tears too, that his big brother can, and will do this for his brother. I love him so much.
Brody is still not that good today, as he has still had high temps, sore legs, tired, hard to breathe and sick of it all. Therefore its been one of those roller coaster emotional days. I have the best two boys a mother could have and i LOVE them sooooooo much.
