We are back at the hospital this evening. Ryan came down this morning with his mom and was admitted and in his room around 11. We waited until about 6:30 for the doctor to come in and they started Ryan on fluids and then will start the chemo as soon as he is well-hydrated. The doctor said that could be tonight or early in the morning. This round is about 5 days so he'll probably be here until Tuesday or Wednesday of next week.
We begin to pray again that Ryan responds well to the 4 drugs that he will be getting this time, that he doesn't get too sick or have any other major side effects and that when he is finished he is well enough to come home and stay home for another 2 weeks.
Ryan had a couple of headaches last week after they did the lumbar puncture with chemo on Wednesday and so the doctor is ordering a cat scan to make sure all is ok. He said headaches are a side effect of the drug that he had last time.
We learn a little more about things every time we meet with the doctor, process things, and then ask more questions. The doctor is happy with how well Ryan's bone marrow regrows white blood cells between rounds.
Aubrey, who has loved having her daddy home, is getting her first tooth as I write this. She has not been the most pleasant baby the last couple of days, but she'll sure look cute when the tooth comes in!
