It looks like Nolan hit a little bump in the road to recovery.  Last night was terrible and this morning has not been better...

Nolan's not eating anything and he's not tolerating his g-tube feeds.  There is a slight worry that the antibiotics are causing his stomach problems and vomiting.  They are talking about switching one of his antibiotics to something that might be a little easier on his stomach.  Despite being on IV fluids His electrolytes are off, which is probably caused by all the vomiting.  They switched those out in hopes this will help too.

In the meantime we just wait for things to improve.  Nolan's sleeping around the clock.  He tends to do that when he's not feeling good and  I know it's good for him.  Hopefully the rest, fluids and antibiotics will get him to feeling better.  

From what I've heard his blood counts are looking better hemoglobin is 11 and platelets are 66,000.  I didn't hear his exact ANC but I was told it's improving.  So thankful his body is recovering from everything.  We discussed the reduction in chemo a little today.  I haven't talked to Dr. Aguilera yet but I know she's going to agree.  Nolan can't tolerate this dosage he's on or he's just going to end up in the hospital every month and that's not what we want.

Please pray for guidance as the doctors rearrange all Nolan's meds, for his stomach to feel better and his continued blood count recovery.

Thank you,
