So you will notice that Seth is looking worn-out. What can I say, he is! Today he had a spinal tap and he has started Chemo. He is running a fever due to the fact he has a bacterial infection which is being treated with a ultra super mega dose of antibiotic. This is not uncommon with AML kiddos, but they are taking it seriously and treating it aggressively. He has officially started his chemo and it takes 6 hours to infuse. He also received a blood transfusion today. You may notice in the picture he looks a little red, this is a reaction to something he has been given.....honestly I can't remember what! They are treating that with good old benedryl and Tylenol.
He ate a banana and that was cause for celebration! He is a funny little boy and I think his favorite word might be 'no'! Even when he's asleep! Tonight when I was there he was playing with Grandma's phone...seriously it looked like he was texting! I think he may have been texting his friend to come bust him out, but she said no too! He is really into movies, so any great suggestions for movies are welcome. Darin also sends a plea for some good movies!
We are working to set up an account in SethMan's name for donations to help cover medical bills. This should be done first of the week. We have already had offers from a few organizations to hold benefit events for Seth and we appreciate it more than words can express.
We are fasting for Seth tomorrow and praying for him, Darin, Shannon, Corbin and Jenna! They are all doing great and feel so much love!
