No Surprise

Just as we expected, Thanksgiving was a bust.  Trent did really well up until Wednesday night.  Then it was all downhill.  When we woke up Thursday Trent could barely lift his head off the pillow.  I felt so bad for him!  He really was so excited for Thanksgiving and then couldn't enjoy it one bit.  He has spent much of the last four days in bed feeling horrible.  This round seems to be a little worse than the rounds before.  He has had some issues with numbness in his hands and feet which we called the doctor about.  He has also been a little fevery but not to the point that he needed to be hospitalized.  We have been watching it very closely and doing all that we can to make him comfortable, but that is hard to do when everything hurts.  He did finally get a blessing from my dad tonight and then promptly threw up right after that.  But now he seems to be doing a little better.  We just have to ride out the next few days and hopefully things will be better.  Tomorrow home health will come to draw his blood.  I am not sure what to expect.  The times when I have thought for sure he was neutropenic, he wasn't.  And when I figured he was doing fine, he was neutropenic.  It's hard to tell on the outside I guess.
