Mommy says she didn’t poke my eye

Despite the lack of sleep he has continued on to a mostly good day.  He continues to eat a ton and is still keeping it all in.  The doctor’s visit went well.  As part of the chemo effort Cutler has been receiving a medicine called lasix to help clean out his system of excess fluids and help push out the dead cells that the chemo is eliminating.  The doctor has decided that since his intake and output is remaining equal that it was time to stop using the lasix.  So one less medicine to be taken.

On the down side, since I have been in the room with Cutler I have noticed a considerable more amount of coughing and it sounds like he is getting a bit congested in the nose again.  The nurse just checked his vitals and listened to his lungs and everything looks and sounds normal, so lets hope it is nothing more than a little congestion in the nose and an itchy throat.  No infections please!

One other thing that I noticed after his last batch of medicine is that his face was turning very red, almost like a rash.  The nurse believes it might be a reaction to some of the medicine he just received, so she gave him some Benadryl and so far it looks like it is working AND it has helped him go to sleep as his sleep for me this afternoon has been a bit fitful, but he is now sleeping soundly.
