Adjusting to life with recently diagnosed three year old with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia (as told by his mom, Michelle)
7.18.2005
things are a little better. called the dr's office friday & got approval to give tylenol (need permission cause they need to know what i'm giving him at all times; tylenol could mask a fever. i'm not allowed to give him children's motrin which was my favorite pre-dx cause it cured any fever they had). so anyway, went today to the methodist ch/ren's hosp. they have a clinic on the 3rd floor for the oncology/transplant/transfusion patients where they give special meds or treatments that aren't available at their doctor's offices. so they gave him the shot of pegasparagase sp? (PEG) & it went pretty well. i told him beforehand, "they're gonna give you a poke in your thighs", and he started crying but it was over very quickly & his legs weren't even sore. we were out of there in about 1 1/2 hours & then went to visit doc & nurse marian cause she asked us to drop by to give him some cookies (they're awesome there). we'll go back wednesday i think for normal cbc & iv push & iv drip if i'm not mistaken. have to look at the protocol they gave me to double check.
