Day -2 Continued

Well, Day -2 didn't go as well as the previous nights. We actually experienced a very scarey effect from either the chemo or the thymoglobulin. The Thymoglobulin ran over six our and it finished around 8:30 pm. I realized that something was wrong when Jack had become very quiet and didn't want to be moved or touched around 7:30pm. First reaction was Jack fell asleep sitting up, as horrible as the evening went it really was very adorable. DSC01601a.JPG
Unfortunately the adorable thing fell by the way side when Jack started to spike a slight temperature of 100.4 degrees. After that everything went south, vomit, watery stools and even his blood pressure. That was very scarey for about 45 mintues and 3 different blood pressure machines Jack was started on a bollis of IV fluid. Jack had started to dehydrate which, as most of you know, is Jack's biggest down fall. The combination of fluid and oxygen started to bring Jack around along with a room of 4 nurses and 3 doctors. Finally Jack was able to have a normal blood pressure reading and was given 3 bollis' of fluid and a pint of blood. So need less to say it was quite and interesting and scarey night. Jack, as always came through it with flying colors and woke up this morning looking for his breakfast tray and for Mommy to make him a cup of Tea (yes, Jack likes hot tea).
