Complications

Hey, everybody, today it's Bailey writing. Today we found out that Daxter's blood cell counts are decreasing and are likely to keep going down for a couple of weeks. My mother, Debby, developed a fever blister and can no longer be in the room with Daxter and us. Also, my grandma developed a slight sore throat, whether it's from dehydration or a sickness coming on is irrevelant, therefore she can't be in the room any longer either. It's down to Ben and myself. I know we will be able to do it; we just have to work on our patience with each other. Ben was planning on trying to go back to work on an intermittent leave of abscense, but now he no longer can. He has to stay here with Daxter and me. Right now they are giving Daxter another blood transfusion to help stabilize his blood counts, and he's still getting regular breathing treatments along with his chemo. The doctors decided to extend the continuous chemo IV until Friday since his body is tolerating it so well. Everyone is still hopeful and we all still know that everything will be okay. Thank you, everyone, for all your prayers and words of encouragement and God bless you all.

  1. Good Morning-Thanks for sharing more pictures...I think most of us would just sit and stare into those eyes of Daxter's all day long if we could. Sorry to hear gma and great gma had to hang back for awhile...it is good to have the extra support but it is also good the three of you get some "little family time" also. Patience--Communication--Love--so important as you spend so much time together. Adversity not only strengthens your relationship with God but can also strengthen your marriage relationship as long as you keep those 3 things in place!!
