Leo developed a type of gastro-enteritis this week, which really wiped him out! 🙁 We brought him to clinic on Monday to be checked; we were told just to watch him. He got better but yesterday night he had a really bad diarrhea and vomited a lot. He pretty much emptied himself up and we ended up at the ER for rehydration at 11 pm at night! It helped him a lot and he was better this morning.
We are also obviously very tired from the whole thing, Alex got the same thing and Charlotte developed it tonight… but we are glad Leo made it through without developing a fever. This is the first time he got sick and now we know that he can resist it on his own, pretty much. His ANC was at 1500 on Monday, which surely helped him to fight this virus.
We restarted his chemo treatment at half dose on Tuesday for the full week. Then next week he is scheduled to take 75% of the dose. Soon we should know what dose he should be using to be stable in maintenance and we look forward to it.
It’s hard to say how he got this viral infection, as we have been, like always, so careful… anyway, it was scary but he made it through! He slept pretty much all afternoon long today to recover. 🙂
