Today was supposed be day 5 of 5 of Nolan's first round of chemo. I was hopeful that it would end in smiles and we would go home and make Christmas cookies and just get excited! It didn't happen quite how we planned...on the way home yesterday Nolan started seizing and was having a difficult time breathing.  I continued to be amazed at how God put us in the right place at the right time.  Everyday this week we have had to go through horrific traffic! It should only take about an hour and 1/2 to get home but it has taken close to 3 hours everyday. It would have been a nightmare if this had happened right in rush hour traffic!  Anyway after getting through all the horrible traffic we were at the Hudson bridge rd exit when Nolan started seizing.  There happens to be a choa urgent care center RIGHT off that exit.  AMAZING!!  They had to give Nolan 4 shots of Ativan to stop the seizure, they intubated him and life lighted him back to Scottish rite.  I have to say I have never been so scared in all my life but God had given me such a peace about everything! I know no matter what God is in control of Nolan's life and that is the only thing that keeps me calm...

Nolan's sodium, magnesium and calcium were all really low and that there can cause a seizure.  We believed this was caused by the cytoxan (chemo) he's getting.  I failed to remember the same thing happened in 2010 when he was getting this chemo just without the seizures.  They have also done an EEG but I don't have the results back yet...he's in the MRI right now to rule out any other problems.

As soon as he comes out of the MRI the doctor will start trying to wean him off the breathing tube.

Please pray for stable scans and for Nolan to be able to breathe on his own without any problems.

Thank you for all the love, support and prayers!
