Luke had his regular Wednesday appointment at MDA today and ended it with an admission to the hospital. He started the day out having an allergic reaction (hives and facial swelling) to one of the drugs he had recieved (anti-asperaginase), this is apparently is pretty common. They stopped the drug and gave him some benadryl and steroids and Luke slept the day away, he also received a blood transfusion. During the second unit of blood all of his labs came back and his carbon dioxide level (this helps to tell how acidic or basic your blood is) was extremely low. This can be caused by a few things, but the docs are not sure the exact reason but it is possibly due to the fact that he hasn't been able to eat much over the last few days. More labs will be drawn this evening after all his transfusions are done and hopefully he will be sent home later tonight...I just got off the phone with him and verbatim, he is in no way staying the night at the hospital. Someone will update the blog later when we know what his lab results are and what the night ahead holds!
Thanks for the continued prayers and support
