January 6 2013 - A new year and a beginning to Maintenance. (Maybe)

On January 2 2013, Jesse started showing sigh of petechiae the day before we went in for his chemo treatment.  I called Dornbechers and let them know that he was starting to show the petechiae that night.  We went in the morning of January 3 2013, and they gave him his PEG and vincristine.  After wards they gave him a blood and plasma transfusion.

He started getting a temperature that was greater than 100.4.   They admitted us that night and took blood samples to see if anything grows in the cultures.  The next morning after Jesse ate his mini breakfast of fruit loops, his belly grew hard. No one could figure what was going on.  We gave him medicine that would make him pass gas but no success.  His belly still remained hard.   They have even change his antibiotic.

Today is January 6 2013 and  we are waiting to go to CT scan  for his burgeoning belly.  There is one person before us.  In the mean time, I will listen to his baby grunts and little cries of pain when he accidentally shifts.  For now I sit at his side waiting and loving him.
