We ended up having to check into the hospital late Wed. afternoon. After chemo on Tuesday, Gentry was complaining about his arm hurting. During Wed. treatment Dr. Rosen checked out his arm and told us to watch for swelling and redness. We came home with our backpack of meds and had only been home a little over an hour when Gentry got sick. While changing his clothes I noticed his shoulder was very red and extremely swollen. Jerry called in for us and they told us to stop his pump, flush the lines and head to the hospital. Thursday was a frustrating day as we waited and waited for information. Gentry had an x-ray Wed. night and then Thurs. morning he had another x-ray with dye injected into his central line and then a sonogram. His central line was not letting the dr. pull blood from it because there is a clot in his vein and the tip of the line has shifted. Poor Gentry had to get stuck 3 times for IV's whichi was not fun to deal with and the hospital was not great at getting the info to Dr. Rosen. We were very frustrated. We finally saw the surgeon today and he is going to replace the central line with a different one on Mon. morning. We check in at 7:30 and the surgery is at 9:30. We should be home sometime on Mon. 

Brooks had his 1 week check up today and the good news is that he has gained weight. The bad news is that his lab work from the hospital was inconclusive so I had to take him back to the hospital to get lab drawn again. The lab tech said it's really common and annoying. The other problem is that the pediatrician heard "rattling" in his chest and is worried about RSV. Please pray that Brooks does not get sick. We are glad to be home tonight but completely exhausted.
