Day Minus two was relatively uneventful. Alex received the Cytoxan around 9am, and supporting medications to coat his bladder. Eric was sleeping here at the hospital, and had to get up with him every two hours to make sure that Alex was urinating enough.
At one point, while Alex, Tessa and I were watching the Phineas and Ferb movie, Eric headed down to the cafeteria, just to take a much needed break. During that time, the nurse came in, and said that his "output" was not nearly enough, and the doctor ordered Lasix... not more than five minutes after it was administered, he was jumping off the bed, and within 1/2 hour, he had filled up a one liter urinal.
Alex still has all his hair, and has only thrown up once ( it was a gag reflex from the awful tasting mouthwash he has to use every few hours). His spirit is good, and so is his energy. I know that may change here soon, so I am enjoying it as much as I can.
