Sorry it has been so long since the last post, but it has been quite a week! It has also been difficult to do anything with the blog or Facebook because with Noah being sick, we can't stay at RMH and so we have been at Easter Seals, while nice enough, doesn't have internet. ( I know... crazy, eh?)

Noah has not had a very good week. He lost two kilos from Friday to Thursday, he has been coughing all week and has had a headache since Wednesday. The doctors are not sure what that is all about, and nothing they have given him has helped. Not even Morphine. (He doesn't like it anyway; he says it makes his head feel weird.) The Chemo has started to make him feel ill as well - he threw up yesterday. : ( Poor guy... The other thing that is happening is that he has had a fever since yesterday morning and it has not gone away either. We had some plans to do something outside since it was a beautiful day and instead, spent most of yesterday and today at the hospital.
They did consider admitting him today, because he is coughing and the fever spikes as soon as the Tylenol wears off. They decided, in the end, to give him a blood transfusion since he was very low and some antibiotics just in case, and then, just before we went on our way, more tylenol, to bring the fever down. They thought that since he needs to go back to the hospital tomorrow morning for treatment anyway, he would be ok to go as long as we monitor his temperature and give him tylenol when necessary.
It has been crazy because Tom, his mom, and the girls arrived on Thursday, and there isn't enough room at Easter Seals for all of us, so some of us are staying at RMH and some of us are at Easter Seals. Tom has been at Easter Seals with Noah and one of the girls and I am at RMH with the other two. And there wasn't enough room at either place for Tom's poor mom. so she was in yet another place! Like I said, crazy. We have been trying to enjoy some time together but it is so hard when Noah is so sick. We did have a nice supper tonight with my Uncle Ken and cousins Sam and Reuben; it is so nice to see them so often!
The girls and I will go to church tomorrow, but it sure won't feel right without Tom and Noah with us.
Thank you all for your encouragement and prayers, please continue to pray for us - it is difficult to be apart from each other, and even though we were able to spend the weekend together, we aren't really together. Sigh... It will be another two weeks before Noah can go home again, and again it will only be for a week or so.
Please pray specifically for Noah's fever and coughing to subside, and for him to feel well enough to be outside tomorrow, to enjoy the beautiful weather we are having here as a family (before they have to leave again).
May you have a wonderful Easter! He is risen, Hallelujah!
