July 18, 2012

We have made it to the last day of radiation! Wouldn't you know it though we've hit a speed bump. It started when Clayton started coughing over the weekend, so we took him to the urgent care center here at MSKCC on Sunday to make sure he would be ok for anesthesia (for radiation) on Monday and maybe be put on an antibiotic to make sure nothing got worse. They did not put him on an antibiotic, but they did x-ray his lungs and they looked fine. So off we went.
Thank God, his four rounds of radiation over Monday and Tuesday went fine. However, after this morning's radiation, they reported that his oxygen levels dropped while he was sedated. He has been coughing and hacking some stuff up, but it comes and goes; sometimes he is fine. So now we are hanging out in the isolation room, waiting on them to do a breathing treatment on Clayton and to hopefully report that he can finish his last round of radiation this afternoon. We are so close!
