Abdullah has finished his high dose chemo yesterday! This intense chemo round lasted 96 hours.
His weight was ~15kg before the high dose chemo, today it came down to 13.2kg.
Hes been put on ambizone for anti fungal treatment, as the docs suspected some fungus in his nose from the cultures take earlier. The ENT team was now directly involved the very first time. They were brought in the resolve the suspected fungal infection issue, as the possible fungus could easily spread to the rest of the body. A possible plan is to remove the fugus infected tissue under anesthesia.
I got back from Dubai on Friday afternoon and went straight to the hospital. My son came running and hugged me. Within half a hour, a nurse came in to tell us that he had to go for another CT, this time of the nose and sinus. I took him for a CT scan of his nose and sinus to check again for the suspected fungal infection.
He is currently on anti biotics, anti fungal drugs and anti virals.
The doctors plan to start his stem cell transpant on Tues 22, April, 2008.
