We've moved

Cam's been able to get the fever down through Tylenol and his blood pressure has been looking better, but his urine output is still pretty low. The doctors have tried a few things and have been unsuccessful so far, so the next step is dopamine in a low dose to try to get him jumpstarted. The downside to this is the drug can't be administered on the regular floor, so we were headed to the PICU, but the PICU is full at the moment. Where we ended up is on the Bone Marrow Transplant wing (5200) as they regularly give dopamine here and could monitor Cam during the run. The good news is...he's been able to pee twice in the 2.5 hours we've been here with the second one being 300ml which is huge for a little guy, so hopefully we're on the right track to getting him better.

LeAnn and I have come to the decision we won't have them administer the last chemo dose he missed today. In talking with the doctors, we all feel Cameron's body is telling us it has had enough and can't take any more. He has put up such a brave fight so far, but it looks like he just can't fight against the meds any more. Dr. G. has made it very clear missing this one dose of this one chemo drug will have no bearing on whether the tumor will return or not, so pushing this med could actually do more harm than good to Cam at this point. If the tumor is going to return, it's going to return regardless of taking or missing this dose, so he can't justify harming him now to maybe prevent the tumor from returning later. It's been hard to come to terms with him not "completing" the protocol, but once you take the previous sentence in fully, there's no other decision to make.

We'll update again in a bit, but as of right now, it looks like things are going in the right direction.
