We are getting toward the end of this series of treatment for Karen. She has just over a week to go. At this stage, unfortunately there has been no change and no sign of any improvement in pain and saliva production. The way things have gone for us in the last 9 months we really weren't expecting any change anyway. Still we wont die wondering if we didn't give it a try. Have included a photo of how Karen has been spending a good chunk of her day for the last month.
Intertwined with Karen's treatment, juggling care for kids while she does this and I am at work, we managed to still get in an ambulance trip and a stay at Woman's and Children's for our eldest son. He has a severe allergy to tree nuts, with the Macadamia being his Kryptonite. It has gotten to the point where it doesn't have to be ingested. He reacts from it just being airborne. So at the cash register of a Subway, our son had a white chocolate and macadamia cookie waved in his face by the staff member, thinking he was doing a good deed offering a complimentary cookie. So within 15 minutes his eye was red and swollen, coughing and his throat starting to restrict. As soon as it starts to effect the airways, its epipen time followed by the ambulance to hospital. So after 4 hours of observation we got home.
Just when you think what else could go wrong, something usually does. Needless to say we plan on keeping a low profile weekend and try and stay out of trouble.
