Devin Update 4/14

Devin started his second round of chemotherapy on Monday March 28th.

He had his radiation treatment first, and then met with his Oncologist. Several hours later they hooked up his chemotherapy drugs.

After Devin got home he actually felt pretty good and we were happy about that. 

The next morning, we found that the port through which his chemotherapy drugs were being administered was leaking. So, we had to go to the doctors and get his port access changed before he could start his radiation. Altogether, Devin had a pretty good day that day. 

The next morning during his radiation treatment we discovered that his port was leaking yet again. So once again, we had to go back to the doctors and get it changed. After we arrived home, Devin was feeling rather nauseous so he rested. Later that day, while I was at a parent teacher conference for one of our kids, Devin called me to tell me that his port was leaking. I promptly called the doctors and they told me to bring him into the hospital.

After an x-ray on his port showed no visible reason for the leak we went home again, confused why it kept leaking all the time. The doctors and nurses conveyed to us that they weren't sure why the port kept leaking and that this was a first time mystery for them. 

Over the next several days, Devin felt quite nauseous. He got his other chemotherapy drug taken off on Friday. He continues to feel nauseous and is having to take medicine every 4 hours to keep it under control.  

We thank you all for your prayers and support.
