Owen’s Leukemia – Day 230

And… the mouth sores are back.  Owen woke up this morning and was talking with his jaw clenched and only moving his lips and I knew.  I had him hold some honey in his mouth (a recommendation from a good friend who has been though this before) and it seemed to help.  I looked in there and there are a bunch on the sides of his cheeks.  I called the hospital just to let them know he has them and to make sure we were doing the right thing, and everything is fine.  We went and picked up a prescription for pain medicine tonight in case the pain gets worse.  He is eating and drinking, so that is definitely a good sign.  Let’s hope that we can keep the pain management under control and that he doesn’t get a fever.  These mouth sores are what landed him in the hospital for 4 days last time we were in this phase.  I feel like we have a better grasp on how to maintain it this time.

The rest of the day was good.  Lots of fun playing indoors with all of this rain outside.

Love that painted face. Still can’t get over that he is such a brave little boy. We continue to pray for them. Love, Joanne & Barry
