Last week, our 11 year old, Kelsey, got sick and the doctors started treating her for an infection. Later that night I found a tick right where the doctors were looking. In their defense it was very small and skin colored.
On Monday our 16 year old, Andrew, had surgery to place a port a cath in his chest to prepare for starting chemo.
On Tuesday, Kelsey got really sick and by wednesday could barely get off the couch. So I took her to the dr again. Now she's on yet another antibiotic for Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever.
Yesterday was Andrew's first chemo. It went well, and so far he's only gotten a little nauseated. He'll have it weekly for 26 weeks, then go biweekly for another 26.
The key now is to keep Kelsey eating and able to take the meds. Tonight her fever shot to 104, which is the highest it's been so far.
As you can see, it's been one exciting week. :) I haven't been able to call everyone, so wanted to update anyone that I might have missed.
