Fungal Mass

The results from the CT scan are in. Alex has a fungal mass in one of his lungs. The treatment is the anti-fungal IV medication he is currently on. The treatment is 4-5 weeks long. Thankfully, we will not have to spend all of that time in the hospital. We get to treat him at home with IV medication. I am interested to see how our three-year old deals with this.

However, just because they know what it is, does not mean we get to go home. He has to be fever-free for 48 hours, and his ANC has to be trending up. Since he gets Chemo tomorrow, that isn't going to be happening for at least 4-5 days.

We are still in isolation, until the doctors can rule out C-Difficile. Hopefully, with the volume of Cheerios he ate this morning, two "samples" of his stool will be easy to acquire.
