Finally Tyler has stopped throwing up. Yesterday was the first day in 9 days that he didn't get sick. It was like clockwork. He would get sick every 2-3 hours and we are glad that is over at least for now. Tyler went to the hospital today to be checked out by his doctors. They will decide if he is to continue chemo. If they decide yes, he will have it tomorrow. He still has the sores down his esophagus and that will not clear up until he is done with chemo.
Tyler should have been in the hospital these past 9 days but the family really wanted him home. Since he has the horrible sores in his esophagus, all of his medicines are given through his port in his chest. This means that every hour to hour and a half either Sarah or Charles are administering his med's intravenously. What I didn't realize is that if you have more than 3, and Tyler is on 7, he has to be in the hospital. Sarah and Charles are so good at playing nurse that the hospital allowed them to have Tyler at home. It is definitely more comfortable for Tyler and it is easier on the family. What an ordeal for Sarah and Charles almost every hour administering, changing or checking on some time of medicine. That is incredible to me! I know how exhausted I am when I have a sick child home for a day or two. This has been going on for how long? Continue to hold up the family in your prayers. They truly rely on them for their strength!
Stay Close! Kim
