So another visit and overnight stay in isolation on the ward at the hospital. Leo's quite poorly with a bacterial infection in his sinuses, throat and nose which for a 'normal' child would mean a week's antibiotics. For Leo, the concern is the infection could track back to the part behind his eye where the left-over mass is from his cancer. If this happens, it could mean IV antibiotics in isolation on the ward for maybe three weeks. Stressed...me? Never!
His weight has dropped from 16.1 kg to 14.7 kg in one week or less, and whilst he's had a little yogurt and jelly today, he's had little else. Hopefully being back home will help him feel a little better and also not being fussed over by the nurses and a wide variety of specialists from medical, oncology and ENT teams.
Good news is his chest x-ray was clear today and we are only thinking that it's a severe infection...no relapse or recurrence of the cancer. Doesn't stop you worrying about it though!
