First Time For Everything or Histio 3 Round 12 Days 1 & 2

I know its hard to believe but Jackson is at the end of his year long Chemo cycle. This is the 3rd time in his life in Chemo. And yesterday, Jan. 16th, 2013, was the very first time he has been admitted to the hospital. He had finished his chemo and IVIG and the nurse was coming in to flush his line when Jackson got the chills. Then his diastolic pressure jumped up to 99, then our nurse made a phone call and within five minutes of the the chills starting we were on our way to the Emergency room in the hospital. They were afraid he was having an allergic reaction to the IVIG and wanted him down in Emergency in case he started having trouble breathing. He didn't, but he went from high blood pressure to soft blood pressure, going down to 90/30 at one point. Then he spiked a temperature. He never had trouble breathing and they decided it wasn't an allergic reaction, but that he had a bacterial infection which they take VERY seriously when you have a port. So blood cultures were taken and IV antibiotics started and at 1:30 in the morning we moved from the ER to a hospital room on the HEM/ONC floor. (We got to the emergency room at 7:30pm  can someone explain to me why it takes till the middle of the night to move into hospital rooms?)  We woke our poor four year old roommate up moving in, but he forgave us. So here we are....pressures fine, temp fine, but the IV antibiotics are staying put until Friday morning. We had chemo in room today---the nurse called it room service, (not what I would have ordered but whatever) and the same is planned for tomorrow and then, it should be discharge. I won't complain about sleeping in a hotel bed anymore after two nights of a hospital chair!!
