Well we didn't have to wait to see the doctors on Monday as last nite, Brody's breathing got worse and his temp went up to 38.5. So Grandpa drove us down to emergency at 11.00pm. We went in and they took his bloods, started fluids, meds and did a chest x-ray. The doctors on duty were a bit puzzled with him, so she called the head doc for the nite, then she came in and she told me that she was worried, so she called another head doc, that has more experience with children that are having chemo. By the time that head doc came in Brody started to response to every thing.
Brody's breathing was nearly going three times faster than his normal age range. His heart rate was low, he needed oxygen and had high temps, which cause him to hallucinate. At 3.30am he started to get better and could then have a good sleep. Pity there is no bed for parents as i just had to stay awake all night.
About 10.30am they finally transfered us to our normal ward, where we have spent the day watching movies and catching up on our sleep. We found out that Brody has a growth in one of his cords. Therefore we are in hospital now for seven days. Brody is still up and down with temp, breathing and has still got that running nose. He has not eaten any thing today and is very weak. Hopefully the meds will kick in and start fighting this bug.
