From Bri: 04/15/08 4:00 p.m.-- The results of Alex's white blood count came back bad. Shortly after he came down with a fever. Dr's have decided to give him another ct scan this afternoon. Doing the Ct they have to use a contrast solution. Alex says the solution is like drinking snot. He asked the Dr if there was a pill or another way he could take it. Dr said they could give it to him through his rectum. Alex said lets do it that way. I was shocked..but at this point i don't blame him. As dr was getting ready to leave Alex says "excuse me.....I think I would rather drink the stuff". So how bad must that stuff taste to contemplate getting it rectally.
From me: I don't know what to say, I feel grief stricken for this poor, sweet boy. This is such a tremendous struggle. I can't imagine an adult enduring this as well as this boy is. This child. Please pray for my friend's son... Send out all the positive energy you can to Alex, and to his family so that they can feel the love. Lift them up in prayer! I will continue to pass along updates as Brian posts them.
