Brenan was given a much needed bag of platelets last night at 8:45 p.m. and hopefully this will help with his energy level. The plan is to give him about 2 bags per day as needed, along with a bag of whole blood every couple of days.
He was given his first dose of the new chemotherapy at 1:00 a.m. and it took about 3 hours to administer. We think he will get this once a day for 5 days straight but I will verify this and get back to you! He is not experiencing any side effects from the chemo quite yet. His fever is down and he is taking pain medication regulary which keeps him comfortable.
Brenan was also seen by the Infection Control Specialist who said everything was on track to take care of his ankle but they are worried about an excess of fluid in his lungs. A scan of his chest showed that he is experiencing pleural effusion and they have already started him on medication to help with this.
