Its Gotta Get Worse Before It Gets Better, Right?
Connor came thru his transplant as expected, but now we have all these side effects of the radiation, chemo, transplant, and other drugs wrecking havoc on his little body. he has been running fever, which they say to some degree can be expected with transplant. He has mouth sores, throat sores, really he has sores all along his gastrointestinal tract from the Chemo and Radiation. This leaves him in excrutiating pain. They are now giving him Morphine to help manage the pain. Due to all the drugs and radiation in his body Connor is violently ill throwing up throughout the day, and has very watery stools. In fact he cant control his bowels right now and is constantly having accidents, even in his sleep. He is embarrassed by all of this. He doesn't even want me to see. His bottom is very sore and bleeding due to the loose stools. He is very lethargic, not even wanting to play his beloved video games most of the time. He is understandibly irritable right now. He is tired of having his body put through Hell. He can't eat, drink, or swallow. His mouth does not produce muccus and he has thick foamy stuff that he throwsup because of it. It is called muccusitis. It is very painful. He continues to push forward........striving to beat the Demon Disease Cancer at the hand it has delt him. He goes forward because he can't turn back. He goes forward because he knows his Mama is scared to death and wants to comfort her. He goes forward because he wants to beat the odds. He goes forward because there is no other options. Forward is the only way to go when your back is against the wall. Continue to pray for Connor as he continues to give it his all and Kick the Sickies out of his little body. Go Connor my Angel without wings......show Cancer you mean business.
