Like I said the little man is a ****in warrior.Well, a lot has happened over the last 2 weeks, the drive home was long, poor Anthony had the Topo rash from the Chemo along with roid rage, and was itching and scratching the whole way home, bad enough to where he actually started to bleed slightly, we used bath wipes to keep his skin moist along with this medicated Aveeno lotion, about half way through our trip, he finally was able to relax and take a little nap. We stopped to change his diaper at a truck stop and we pulled his diaper off and he decided to pee out the truck door and onto my floor mats lol, luckily they are the Weather Techs, he needed some new clothes so I decided to uncover the bed of the truck and climb up in it and while I was extending my leg on the bumper, my pants ripped right in the crotch and thigh area, haha. All of a sudden I felt this cold breeze hit me and I realized what had happened. I got us some new clothes out of our bags and we hit the road again.
We finally got home and he has his check up 2 days later. During the check up they are drawing blood and running his numbers. They go to flush his line and brown sludge comes out of his C-line. Turns out my little monster had bit a hole into it sometime during the night and now it has bacteria in it that has spread to his blood. So off we go to the Hemby Childrens Hospital, we thought it would be just them changing the line out and we would go back home, but turns out, he ended up with C-diff, E coli and 3 different bacteria's. They ended up taking the C-line out and putting him on 3 antibiotics over the weekend until they could get a hold of his Oncologist in Memphis, Monday comes along and they switch up the meds, but we had to wait until he tests negative to have his new port put in. Poor guy was there for a little over 2 weeks.
He is home now, drugged up on morphine, little guy has been through a lot. I also went to the Dr. this morning to figure out what has been going on with my back, Friday at work I messed it up and now I have a herniated disc. Hopefully these meds knock it out and I will be feeling normal. We will be going back to Memphis the 26th for round 6, he is more than halfway done, if things go good, he should be cancer free around August. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.1

I pray for him often and I’m sorry about your back. You’re all gonna make it.
