Amaey in the hospital

I had stopped contributing to the blog because, a) I felt tired writing 

about what we are going through b) things are as per protocol 

c) life is just plain busy. However, I have a lot of friends calling and 

emailing and then family all around the world wonder about him.

The last 2 weeks have been particularly hard for him. He started 

his delayed intensification on Oct 12. The 3 days in the hospital 

with chemo completely knocked him down this time. He had high 

fever the entire time and came home with it as well. After a few 

days of rest he was feeling better yet not his best. On 19th we went 

in for his routine blood test and later that day they told us Amaey 

was neutropenic and needed a transfusion. So on 20th I took him 

for that. He usually perks up after a transfusion but this time around 

he did not. He was still dragging his feet around the house and not 

really eating anything. On 22nd he threw up in the shower, I got 

worried so I emailed his doctors. I wanted them to take a look at 

him when i brought him in for his routine blood test.

They decided to admit him based on the symptoms. He had a high 

fever too so now he is in for at least 3 days. They are trying to rule 

out the flu or H1N1 or any other infections. I have never seen Amaey 

so sad and that really breaks my heart. He is such an upbeat child, 

looks at the positive side and takes everything in his stride. Right now 

he is being pumped with so much more medication. I don't know how 

a little body can take all this toxicity. 

I believe in silver lining but I really do not see one with all of this pain 

and suffering.
