This cancer journey we have been on for two months now has been quite the rollercoaster.  We have had so many ups and downs.  At the beginning of this week things were looking great.  His CT didnt show anything new, his blood gases were improving, they started weening his vent settings down and going down on his sedation so they could try and get him off the vent.  I was starting to be able to breathe again.  These past couple of days though have been rough.  His blood gases have been getting worse than we have seen them for awhile, which led to putting the vent back on a higher setting and giving him more sedation.  He has been getting high fevers, his blood pressure keeps dropping really low, and his oxygen has even dropped low a couple of times.  We were getting used to seeing his O2 levels in the high 90's and now we have seen them in the low 80's.  He has been very unstable.  Today they did an ultrasound of his belly and found that his spleen is engulfed with fungal balls.  They have been treating Skyler with antifungals for weeks now so you would think that it would have taken care of this infection.  But they say this is one of the hardest infections to treat and it can hide in various parts of the body.  They put him on another antifungal medication so we will see how he responds to it.  I am scared out of my mind right now.  The usual optomistic NP seemed really worried and kept saying this is just really hard to treat.  Im so afraid that this is going to be really bad for my little guy so any extra prayers for Skyler would be much appreciated.  He is still fighting though and one thing I know for sure is that he is one tough and stubborn little boy!  Keep up the good work sweetheart, I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART!!!!
