still fevery

By Margot | June 20, 2009

Sam didn’t do any Cytoxan today.  He had blood in his urine right before we were supposed to start it so we just did the topotecan infusion.  His throat started hurting this afternoon and his fever got to 103.   The night nurse checked the oxygen machine after she saw his temperature which freaked me out.   He might have the hand foot and mouth virus which is going around.  It would explain his fevers and mouth sores because it’s a little too early for chemo induced mouth sores.  I think we’ll probably be here for a few more days.  

Update : fever broke 11:00.  He is sleeping peacefully.

Margot

Thanks so much Monica and Elizabeth for all your help today.
