Long Days and Nights

The past two days and nights have been a little rough. Zane has been battling fevers for the past two days. They have started him on a second antibiotic to see if that would help. All of his cultures have been coming back negative. Nights have been really rough for him. He tends to spike his fevers at night and they tend to cause him to have some aches and pains. So I've been spending my nights trying to make sure he is comfortable. 

Zac has been fever free for 24 hours now but is in a lot of pain. Bob has been spending his nights with Zac trying to keep him comfortable and doing whatever he can to help Zac. 

The boys had their last round of chemotherapy in the delayed intensification phase. In the next two to three weeks, depending on their counts, they will start Maintenance. This will consist of doctors visits every four weeks for about three years. They will also be taking a daily chemo pill plus a few other drugs. 

Currently we are waiting for their ANC levels to rise, both are still at zero, and for Zac to remain fever free and for Zane to be fever free. Thank you for all the prayers and encouraging words. They mean the world to us. 

Sorry for the lack of pictures. I'm blogging from my phone and I can't figure out how to add pictures.
