We want to go home. Aidan had to be admitted to Devos on Thursday because he has mucusitis. I was going to post a link to show pictures of what it is, but I became sick just looking at them so thought it best to leave it be. I have only seen what it has done to my sons lips. The doctors and nurses are the ones who look into his mouth. Basically, they are ulcers in the mouth. They are a side effect from one of his chemo drugs, Methotrexate. The ulcers can even be in the stomach, esophogas, rectum..... ugh. I am pregnant and having a hard time writing about this, but this is just a small part of the life of cancer. :( My darling 5 year old boy was on Morphine for two days because the pain was so great. I can't tell you how much it hurts to watch your little boy drooling blood while sleeping. Yes, blood. This has got to be the worst side effect yet..
Woohoo!! Just got the news that Aidan is being discharged!!! We have to wait for paperwork and the nurse to de-access his port and we are out of here. He is so giggly and excited now. Now I can't even remember what my whole point was going to be to this blog!! I really have to start doing this more so I get in the hang of it..
