Well today started out with a 5.7 earthquake centered in Magna which is really close to Primary Children's Hospital. So that is just awesome. We have been feeling the aftershocks all morning. I woke up to everything shaking. It probably lasted about 30 seconds. I went out in the hall and two nurses were out there saying what is going on. Max slept through the whole thing. It was really unnverving. It's just so crazy that these once in a life time things are all happening at once. Like what are the chances your child gets cancer? And what are the chances the world goes into pandemic mode? And what are the chances there is a large earthquake? And what are the chances that all those happen at the same time? It is just a really crazy time to be living in right now. I just prayed after the earthquake hit that things could start calming down and we could be kept safe. It felt like the end of the world. So many bad things are happening all at once. It just seems unreal.
Maxwell's counts today are
hab 8.9
hca 25.5
pas 62
WBC 4.1
ANC 1.1
We are happy to see his ANC is coming up so that should help solve his mucusitis. It doesn't seem like it got as bad in his mouth this time. It seems like it may be more in his throat. He has a hard time swallowing, and is very congested because he lets the spit pool up in his mouth. I was worried about it last night, but he seems to be clearer this afternoon. We are just waiting for him to poop and then we are also going to slowly take him off his pain meds. Once those things happen we can head home. I am hoping that is tomorrow, but we will see. If it is like last time we will head home Friday morning.
They had some fun activities for the patients today. They had arts and crafts, games and toys, that we could go pick from at the front desk. I got him a dinosaur to paint and some Paw Patrol figures and cars that he loved.
He is having a good nap now, and I was able to take a shower.
