Please Pray for my cousin Ethan

- DAY 3
*******************************
Quick update: Yesterday, Cytoxin went well, it was a two hour infusion- we have to change his diaper at least every two hours and check to make sure the bladder isn't bleeding (another lovely side effect). His test dose of ATG went great and so we continued with the full dose. It was uneventful until it was over. He was really irritable but had a couple reasons-#1 no sleep because of so many vitals, and #2 no poop for lack of exercise. After the latter was accomplished he felt better. Until he had a slight fever-only 99.7 but it caused some rapid breathing and uncomfort. Once Tylenol took care of it he slept well. I was afraid his face was looking like Kristan's when she got these nasty drugs; very swollen. I will post on the photo page one of her when she was in the unit.

This morning he looked SO good, Up talking and eating and playing. He looks like Ethan again. This is getting scarier as the days go on. The drugs are coming at him each day and bringing his counts down to 0. He will be susceptible to even his own body causing him an infection. This overly cautious germ-o-phobe personality we have will be good for this journey. He was hooked up to chemo from 10 am to 8:30 pm last night. Please keep the prayers strong! Pray THIS bmt is a success-maybe we left that "THIS bmt" to be successful in our last prayers; we must have only said for THE bmt to work.
