What is Ewings sarcoma?

 
 

-  September 5, 2006  -

Hi Everyone,
 

     Joe came home yesterday after the scare with an infection. We spent 6 nights in the hospital including 3 nights in the Intensive Care Unit because Joe's blood pressure and heart rate were a little unstable for a while. It was nice though because a lot of the staff from the eighth floor came down to see him and I think "Dr." Mike was in the ICU more than he was on the eighth floor.

     The infection was caused by a bacteria called Pseudomonas which I understand is pretty common and not too harmful unless you have a suppressed immune system like Joe does for a time after each chemotherapy treatment. He is going to get 14 days of antibiotics and then resume the chemotherapy so it looks like the treatment schedule will be pushed back a week. Quite frankly I think we are all ready (especially Joe) for a little break after spending 11 out of 13 nights in the hospital.

Tom
