Day 2 Chemo....




Well we had day 2 of chemo today...Eric is still consistently running a fever of 100.2 so they are running extra tests and labs to see if he has an infection. Eric's energy has really dropped today he is tired although I was able to get him to at least get a short walk around his pod area with his gown, mask and gloves on done before he laid down after his shower.

Eric is needing 2 units/2 bags of red blood cells so he is getting those transfused in him now each one takes about 3 hours to do. I am posting a picture from this morning of Eric while he was getting his chemo and blood transfusion. As you can see from the picture he doesn't feel well and he has alot of lines/ IV's hooked up to him.

Also a second picture for everyone of the MD Anderson main building/ hospital where Eric is now for visual purpose to see what it looks like. Doing good so far today other than low energy alot and the fever. We are gearing up for it though they tell us that by tonight he should be seeing alot of the sickness and effects of chemo kicking in.

We have a special little surprise for everyone that we will be posting on the blog tomorrow... this is for our kids. Especially Austin he had a special request he told his Dad he wanted....so be sure to check it out tomorrow on the blog! We love and miss Chelsea and Austin so much!!! We know they are being great kids!

We love you guys,
Love Mom and Dad
