Dylan was taken to KMC (our local children's specialty hospital) today.  He was VERY lethargic and his mom was not having a very easy time waking him and he had very slurred speech...
 
He finished a 48-hour series of chemo this last Saturday morning and then was sent home Saturday afternoon... I don't get it...  but that's what they did...  So far, all of his tests for cancer in the marrow and organs has been clear.  They think this is a reaction to the chemo.  He is supposed to return to UCLA on the 14th for a 5 day series of chemo, again.  This is very scarey.... so much trauma to such a small child...  I would have thought that if this form of cancer is so rare and potentially so terminal, WHY didn't they keep him under observation to see how his body would react for a few days??  They were originally told that they would keep him for 24 hours after chemo and then sent home the same day, instead??
 
I smell insurance red tape.... Leann said that her sister has already been fighting with them for not wanting to pay for some of the meds that the Dr's have been RX'ing....  Please pray that Dylan's little body has a come back...  poor little guy...  Thanks...
