A Rough Day

Today was a long day. It started at 5:00am when Zane woke up with a fever. Once I got him settled Zac woke up in pain. We gave him some pain medicine and he slept for the rest of the morning. Then when he woke up he kept grabbing his stomach, moaning in pain and then he threw up. The doctors came in to exam him and then ordered several tests. Labs were drawn and we made a trip to radiology and thankfully the scans all came back clear. His labs from this afternoon raised  some concerns with  various levels regarding his pancreas so more tests were ordered. And those came back normal too. They are watching his glucose levels but thankfully they returned to normal after he drank some juice. We are still working on figuring out the source of his pain but we are grateful that his tests are coming back within the normal ranges.

Zane started to run a low grade fever this afternoon but he was able to return to a normal temperature within a short period of time on his own. He also threw up just as they were getting ready to take Zac to radiology. Thankfully the nurses told me to go with Zac and they would clean Zane up. When we got back Zane was in a great mood and joking around with the nurses. Then, this evening he had a mild reaction to one of the antibiotics. They gave him some Benadryl and he has been sleeping ever since.

We are hoping they will start to turn the corner soon. We are still waiting for their ANC levels to rise. Both are still at zero.
