Late night hospital run

Last night, Isaiah developed a fever.  We called Childrens right away and were directed to Royal Columbian Hospital.  When we got there, Isaiah was given antibiotics through his VAD.  He was not happy that we woke him up to bring him to the hospital.  I gave Isaiah the excuse that his "butterfly" couldn't sleep because he was thirsty for some red juice.  I assured Isaiah that this particular butterfly would be getting a time out from his mommy for waking him up in the middle of the night.  (His butterfly is what we call the needle that sits on his port).  

Sleeping in Daddy's arms as he receives his antibiotics.  What a good sport.  He's even sleeping with a thumbs up!!

With oncology patients, antibiotics are automatically given when there is a fever.  He's not allowed any medication such as Tylenol to bring the fever down in order to avoid masking a potential underlying issue.  

He's feeling very sick today.  He's in his bed right now sleeping.  He seems to have no energy and won't even talk to me to tell me what's wrong.  The only response I'm getting is a head nod.  I wish I could know what he's thinking and feeling.  

We have to go to Children's tomorrow to receive more antibiotics and to get checked out by our oncologist.  Please pray for Isaiah.  These little setbacks are a pain.
