We were so close! I thought we were actually gonna dodge a bullet this time around and not have to be admitted again for fevers but I was wrong. Here we are in the hospital again for fevers.
Kade has had a pretty good week with her reaction to the chemo last weekend. I kept waiting since Friday night for her to get sick because that is her trend but she never really got bad. She wasn't throwing up a lot and her fevers were low grade, but I could tell she was just punky and not feeling well so after putting it off for two days of very mild symptoms I finally decided to bring her in late last night. It's a good thing I did too because her blood cultures came back positive today and she has a central line infection in one of her lumens. This means she has to be on a another strong IV antibiotic for 14 days. We will probably be able to do it ourselves at home like we did with the ganciclovir though. The doc said most kids get at least one line infection throughout their treatments and it could have been because of anything.
Kades still been a sweet happy girl despite her feeling under the weather. I don't think she is very happy to be in the hospital, but she is a trooper. We sent Maizyn and Jax to Jackson Hole, Wyoming with my parents for a Glauser family reunion this morning. There will be 99 people thre and they go meet all my cousins. I'm so sad to miss it but glad they get to go. It turned out to be good timing as far as them being gone while we are into the hospital again.
Here she is playing with the box of tissues.
Every. Single. Tissue. She then proceeded to throw them on the floor. I glad she is entertaining herself though! Whatever makes her happy. Silly girl.
Wish us luck for the rest of our stay!
Kade's story
On March 17th our lives were changed and turned upside down. Our little Kade had a fall which lead to brain surgery, which then lead to finding a very large brain tumor. They were able to remove the tumor successfully with surgery and she has been recovering better than expected, however the pathology report came back as malignant. She was diagnosed with choroid plexus carcinoma brain cancer. This blog will be for everyone to track our journey through out the treatment process. We are so hopeful for our little girl and know she's a little fighter.
We will miss you so much!!! Take care of your sweet little Kade. Love you!!!
