Nope, not better

Still having a rough go at the moment here in room 8106.  We think we might have a reason for the fever now though.   When all this started and Dr. Caton was explaining Leukemia to us and how Mark's immune system would be compromised, we at once worried about the kids being in school and bringing home crud.  I was in an instant ready to pull them out of school and home school them for the rest of the year should it be a concern.  The doc however didn't advise that.  He said that in all truth, although outside illnesses ARE a threat to Mark, his biggest battle would be his own bacterias.  Well, that has already reared it's ugly head.

A couple nights ago Mark woke up and realized he'd bit the back of his tongue while he slept.  And then, as we all have done after an initial chomp, he bit the swollen tissue again while eating.  Because he has no immune system to heal the sore, it has become a hemotoma and the side of his tongue is swollen to about twice it's normal size.  Well....also since he has no immune system, the sess pool of bacteria we all have in our mouths has attacked Mark's body and has caused the return of the fever/chill fest.  Lovely.  So they do all these test to see if they can find something when in probability it is something as simple as a slip of the teeth to cause a weeks worth of pure agony.  Unbelievable huh?

He's been pretty much in a drug induced sleep for going on 2 days.  It's been relatively peaceful in here except for the 4 bedding changes today when he gets up to pee!  The man knows how to sweat out a fever I tell ya!!  Yay God!

More to come later if he wakes up and says something blogworthy.  Otherwise y'all will see me tomorrow!

God Bless, B
