Sick

Beckett has an ear infection in both ears and a sinus infection. I'm not sure how much, if anything, this has to do with the chemo suppressing his immune system. Yesterday he was sent home from daycare with a fever of 102, and today he barely had a fever at all. The pediatrician prescribed yet another round of antibiotics, about the third that he has had. The cold or fever isn't anything too much of a concern right now as his blood counts are still very high, but we worry about him being sick as the treatment progresses.

Yet Beckett continues to be his normal, cheerful self, even if his nose is running like Niagara Falls. Well, he has his moments of grumpiness, but they seem typical for a two-year-old. The chemo appointments themselves have been no big deal. This week and next week he is getting only the Vincristine, which means the appointments will be fast and relatively painless.
