Fever gone?, Still nauseous, Go away adenovirus - April 3, 2014

Life with Asa in our little room. Today Asa was rather nauseous so he wasn't too pleasant. We adjusted his giving of oral meds today to help with this. Thankful for a gracious attending doc this week who really loves kids.

Please pray as we may get new virus numbers tomorrow. Please pray that the numbers are not only zero but that any residual virus in Asa's body be gone as well. Docs would like to start systemic chemo next week. Please pray that this would be timed appropriately, that it would be effective to shrink the tumor appropriately off the remaining artery so that tumor can be removed and that chemo side effects be minimal. Fever seems to be gone, but nausea lingers, either from chemo or withdrawals from the vent meds, though that process is progressing. Please pray that we have good interactions, that we don't go too batty in these four walls, that we would have good nurses and docs, esp on weekend.

Thanks today for a sweet visit, good coffee after a rough night with nausea and a very annoying beeping iv pump. Thanks for friends whocover our tail at home so my parents can get a break. — with Andy Barreras and John LaChapelle.
