Spent.

After 3 months of chemo coupled with colds, infections, surgeries, procedures, trips to Denver and a multitudes of medications I am now spent! Abby was up 4-5 times last night, Lily was also crying about as many times (she's teething). Abby's cough is worse again and she isn't sleeping or eating very well.

Usually I can brush it off, get through it and find the positive side of the issue in the moment but not this time. I think Abby sums it up best when she said to me last night, "I don't think this cough will never go away!" or "I didn't sleep at all last night!" in her little sad and frustrated tone. Really breaks my heart.

Anyway, that's how it is. Tiffany took the family down to Denver again today to get Abby checked out. Her ANC was at 0 and her total white count was only at 300. They checked her out, talked it over and since she sounded ok in the lungs they let her come home.

I came home early and walked into the house to the sound of Abby screaming and crying. I held her and tried to figure out what was wrong through her crys. It is really hard to not be able to do anything about all of this, really hard. She had a fever again so Tiffany called CHOA and they decided that we should get Abby admitted to the hospital again. Tiffany took her this time and when she got down to the hospital Abby's fever was up to 103. The staff did all the usually neutropenic fever stuff, cultured the blood, gave her a stiff shot some mega antibiotic and got her started on fluids.

It's 9PM now and things sound like they have started to settle down. Abby's cough is still keeping her away and hurts her to cough. Her fever has come down a good amount and now hopefully she can sleep. They did a chest X-Ray and we should no the results of that tomorrow.

Tiffany said that they are in the same room that Abby was in when she first got diagnosed... kind of weird. Tiffany commented on how things seemed to have come full circle. Indeed they have. My hope is that they can figure this thing out and kick this bug that she has. My hope is that Abby will feel better.

My last hope is that this truly has come full circle and that the bed that Abby now sleeps in tonight, the same bed that she was diagnosed in over 2 years ago, will the last hospital bed that she will have to sleep in for a very long time.

Ahhh, I can't wait until she feels better. Thanks again for checking in.

Overnight in the Hospital

As I was sitting there beside Abby's bed at PSL watching her put the pulse/ox on the stuffed poodles paw I thought, "Man, I haven't had to be here for a long time and boy am I glad." Actually sometimes I like it there. With all the beeping, tubes, people coming in and out, and even the little chair that turns into a most uncomfortable bed... still, I feel comforted and safe. I guess it makes sense, you're in a hospital, state of the art medical technology, trained staff, lots of good drugs.

It also brings up lots of emotions from the the past and makes me reflect on the last 2 plus year of our life. Especially with surgery. This one was a bit harder than most of the other ones except maybe the eye surgery. She didn't feel good at all when she came out and all she wanted to do was blow her nose. Obviously she couldn't do that. It took her a couple hours to stop crying, man that was hard. Part of it was that she was so tired. Once she took a little cat nap she was much better, that was at about 3pm. Tiffany left once Abby had calmed down and went back home to relieve her mom who was watching Anna and Lily.

The overnight in the hospital was pretty good. Abby woke up a lot during the first part of the night and went through 2 boxes of Kleenex dabbing her nose. It bleed a lot at first and by midnight it was pretty much done. Speaking of bleeding, she did have to have 3 transfusions on Thursday. One during surgery of platelets and one more unit of platelets after surgery following a quick infusion of packed red blood cells. She had a hemorrhage when they did the bone marrow and since her platelets were down to 68,000 they decided that they should give her some more before they started the sinus surgery.

The right sinuses were pretty clogged up with infection gunk and the other side was a lot better with just a little bit of gunk. They drained the right side and made both sides a bit bigger and easier to drain in the future. They also took a bunch of cultures of different spots so that they know what antibiotic will be the best to put her on. Those cultures will take a while since she's been on so many antibiotics but we should know by next Wednesday or Thursday. Right now she is still on Cleocin twice a day. She also is starting her Dexamethasone (steroid) pulse but is off all of her other chemo meds until her blood counts come back up. Her ANC (immunity) is still pretty low at 400- 600 depending on the day.

On a positive note, the spinal tap that they did while she was under was her last tap! Also, this Dex pulse is her second to last pulse! And the bone marrow that they did (the preliminary results came back fine) will take the place of the normal final bone marrow that they do in the last month!

So, overall Abby is doing much better. She's been playing today and seems to be in good spirits. She's a bit grumpy and her face and back are a bit sore but you wouldn't know it by watching her wrestle with Anna. She still doesn't like to do the nose rinse but really, who does?!

Thanks for all of your calls, prayers, and help during this busy medical time! You all rock!

Sinus Surgery Thurs

Hey all,

Abby's on for the sinus thing tomorrow morning at 11am. We'll take her down, check her in, and they do it all. It takes about 45 minutes per side of her nose and they will also be doing her spinal tap, and a bone marrow while she is under too.

She'll start her Dex pill tomorrow too so I hope she feels like swallowing them. We should be able to bring her home tomorrow afternoon but we may have to keep her over at PSL (the hospital) if they need to watch her. We'll see.

I'm off to finish getting ready.

A Full Week

Well, it looks like we will be going ahead with the sinus surgery. Tiffany took Abby down to see Dr. Pachly, the ENT doc, and he took a look at her old and new films and said that we really shouldn't wait any longer. He's a nice doctor but also doesn't want to mess around and keep trying antibiotics anymore. Actually in the films from October her sinus infection wasn't completely gone on the 2nd scan and in last weeks scan the sinuses are completely filled up, mostly on the right side. There is no opening for the stuff to drain out this time, last time there was a small opening, so we can do nasal rinses until we are all blue in the face but in the end nothing is going to get past that blockage. So, surgery is really the only option left.

Now I do have to say that the film he looked at yesterday was from last Monday, Presidents Day. Things probably are a lot better after a week of antibiotics so maybe some of the wash is getting up there but who knows.

I really don't want for her to have to do yet another surgical procedure but I'm also tired of her being sick. Dr. Pachly said that she'll feel stuffed up and uncomfortable in her nose for a few days after the surgery but it will probably just feel about the same as she does now.

So that's one part of the week. The other part is the Chemo pulse. We start that today. She'll get one of her last spinal taps, some Vincristine, and IViG. And then off to the eye doctor to check her out for her 6 month follow up. She'll be on Dexamethosone for the week so Thursday ought to be a bit fun since she won't be able to eat before the surgery.

That's the scoop. I've got to get Abby ready to go to Denver again. I'm going to need to get her a more comfortable car seat with all of this driving!

Fair to Good

Just a quick post to tell you that Abby is doing fair to good. Her fever is down a bit, 99-100, and she is eating a little better too. She still is pretty pale and takes a lot of rests but hopefully things will keep slowing getting better.

We're suppose to call tomorrow to tell them how she is doing so and then we can see what the next step will be.

That's it.

Just pray for Abby's health

Hey all,

Abby's still not doing good. Still has a fever. Still is coughing a lot and not feeling good. Tiffany took her back down to Denver yesterday and they did a blood culture and gave her fluids and a dose of IV antibiotics. They also put her on 1 more antibiotic to help her chest since it sounds like she is getting some fluid/gunk in there. So, now she is on 4 antibiotics. They also did a CBC and saw that her hemoglobin (the oxygen carrying part of your blood) is pretty low, 8.0.

So here is the new game plan:
See how she does over the weekend.
See if the fever goes away.
See if the cough goes away.
See if the nausea goes away.
Do lots of nose rinsing.

If she seems a lot better on Monday then we'll continue as we have been.
Get Chemo, Tap, IvIG, and go see the eye doc on Tuesday.

If isn't any better on Monday then we will do a surgery for her sinuses on Wed. To reshape them and help them drain better on their own.

So basically she get a lot better in the next 3 days or we go ahead and do surgery on Wednesday to clear this thing up. If the culture comes back positive then we'll have to go back down today too.

There you go. Now just add one more drug to that picture from the last post in your mind and you'll know what our microwave now looks like. :)

Abby's new meds

Honestly I don't know how she does it. She is on yet another new antibiotic to help her fight off her roaring sinus infection that we found out about on Monday. We took her down to get another sinus CT (CAT scan) because she has been so miserable lately. Coughing at night and carrying a bowl around sometimes during the day. Other times she seem full of energy and is just playing outside seeming rather normal. She's a little trooper.

Now, after looking at the top of our microwave and seeing this whole new batch of drugs I think I see why Abby's not feeling so good. I mean who would feel good with all of these medicines?! And man, what would she feel like without them? Tonight I gave her an anti-nausea, a cough med with codine, some antibiotics, zantac, Tyleno, and I still have to give her the two chemo drugs later tonight. Crazy.

She's had a pretty high fever off and on for the last week. 10 days ago it was 103, and then last weekend it climbed to 102 and then hung out for a few days at 101. Today it went away for the afternoon but was back at 101.5 this evening. Pray that it goes away tomorrow becuase if it doesn't then we'll probably have to take here in again or admit to the hospital.

The treatment plan is this:
3 weeks of the antibiotic and then we'll do another CT. If it is still there then we'll talk to the Ear, Nose, Thoat Doc to see what to do next, maybe another 3 weeks of antibiotics, maybe surgery. So, please pray that this sinus infection will go away soon!
Tuesday she will also be going in to CHOA for a spinal tap, chemo, IvIG, and an eye appointment with Dr. King. This Friday, we have an appointment with the GI Doc. to see what's up with her tummy and what the appendix thing is all about.

So, that's our boring life. Sorry there's not too much to talk about :) Pretty typical her at the Schreibers' house! No really, I'm doing ok with it even though I'm a bit tired and also sad about all that she's had to go through. Tiffany has her good days and bad days too. Anna and Lily are pretty oblivious so they've been fine. Please pray for our family, for Abby, and for all the germs to take refuge into somebody elses house for a little bit.

Thanks for checking in!

ER Sunday

Hey all,

We're still hanging in there. Actually I'm doing pretty good with all of this sickness stuff. I tend to do better when things are most definitely out of my control. These last couples months have been just that. Now, don't get me wrong, I would love to have a healthy family for more than a week but that's just not the case right now so I'll have to be ok with that.

Abby spiked a big fever on Saturday morning and it didn't come down by Sunday morning so we had to take her to the only place that was open, the ER. Not the best place to go if you don't have to... just my opinion. They actually were pretty good there. They checked her out, listened to her lungs, accessed her port, took blood, ran a CBC, and did a blood culture. Her fever was still in the 102.5-103.5 range so they gave her a shot of Roseffen, an antibiotic, just in case she had a blood infection. I assume the culture was negative since they didn't call back.

Abby's fever is gone now, her cough is getting better but I think Anna is getting it now. Lily already had it and Tiffany too so I guess Anna is the last one for this virus unless I catch it. I think I have it, but it has been tolerable for me. Tiffany also had something, it turned into a sinus infection so she went to the doctor yesterday and they put her on antibiotics. Hopefully she will fell better tonight.

So, that's life in the sick lane. Isn't it fun? I am definitely looking forward to Disneyland... I think we are all going to wear masks on the plane though!

Later

RSV?

Well it looks like Abby may now be the winner of a new virus called RSV. I told her to choose door number 3, but she went for door number 2 and now... RSV.

Actually we don't know for sure if it is but they are treating her like it is since RSV peaks in Feb and Jan. Lily had a cough last week, and Anna didn't feel too well either so it probably finally just got to Abby.

Yesterday morning, while I was gone, Abby spiked a big ol' fever so Tiffany called Dr. Smith at CHOA. They put her on a double does of her weekend antibiotic since that one covers for pneumonia and we really don't want her to get that! We did the old ibuprofen & and Tylenol tag team to get her fever down and I gave her a little codeine/Tylenol so that she could get some sleep last night. She seem better this morning and she slept great last night compared to the night before.

On the tummy side she is doing ok. They still have her on the anti-protozoa med every other day until we can see the doc again at the end of the month.

So pray that both of these goes away quickly and that other infections stay at bay.

That's all the medical news from the Schreiber household. Everything and everyone else is going real good but we all are looking forward to the spring!

Upper GI

Well, Abby had her upper GI on Tuesday and things went fine as far as I know. She just had to fast for about 12 hours and then drink some radioactive stuff so they could watch it go down into her stomach. The test was painless and only took about 30 minutes. Tiffany went with her and she said it was kind of neat to see it swirl down to her stomach.

I guess this test is to see about any ulcers or problems with the lining of her stomach. We'll talk to the GI doctor about it near the end of the month. We could get an earlier appointment with him but the end of the month one he will be here in Fort Collins so that is much better than driving down to Denver again.

I think her stomach is getting better slowly but surely. She seems to be feeling good except for a bit of a cold.

I can't wait till cold season is over and we can let them out of the house to breath some fresh air. Ahhhhh... spring will be here soon.

Biopsy results

Just a quick update to tell you about Abby's biopsy results from her tummy. On the cancer side things are great, no cancer cells or anything unusual found

As for infections, she has one. They started her on an antibiotic that seems to cover for protozoa and such. Anyway, she'll be on that one for a week to 10 days. We have an upper GI test scheduled for Tuesday and then a follow up for all of this stuff on a Friday at the end of the month.

It will be nice to talk to the doc and see what all he has to tell us.

See ya.

AWOL Appendix

So we are back from our Chemoscopy Tuesday and all went well. It was kind of like a progressive dinner but instead of parts of a meal we focused on different medical procedures... just like a progressive dinner though at the end Abby got dessert, a gianormous Popsicle!

So IvIG went well, as did the Vincristine. Abby's counts were great, actually a bit too good. Other than being really hungry at CHOA and unable to eat since the night before and unable to drink after 9am she was in good spirits. Things went really quick and in only 2 short videos we were out the door and on our way to the surgery center 15 miles away. We checked in and got everything all filled out and such. Abby was very excited to be able to eat a Popsicle when she got done and also was looking forward to being pushed around in the bed with wheels. The doctor actually took her for an extended ride around the recovery area before taking her into the surgery room.

40 minutes later she was done with both top and bottom "oscopies" and the doctor came to show me the nice color pictures of the inside of her colon and stomach. I know lovely! Good for show and tell later I guess. He gave us 3 copies of each, I don't know why so many really, maybe he is just very generous.

He took biopsies of her stomach and colon and is going to have some tests run on them. We won't know about those for a few days or a week. But that wasn't the big news. The big news was that her Cecum and Appendix are not where they are suppose to be. Wierd I know. Remember my family is different, refer to previous posts if you need a reminder. See her a the Schreiber house we try to do things in creative ways. Sometimes it's interesting colored pages that the girls draw, sometimes it's the care bears dressed up in Barbie clothes, and sometimes we just really try to get creative with how our organs are placed in our bodies. Yup our organs.

So they found the appendix if you are still wondering. It's just not in the bottom right side of her like it should be. Instead it is in the upper left quadrant. When he said it was in the upper left quadrant I really didn't mind because I had no clue as to what he was trying to say. I still don't really know what he is trying to, or not to, say about this condition. All I know is that it's about 180 degrees out of phase with the normal human. Did any of you ever watch X-Files? Just wondering.

Anyway, they'll be doing some more tests on her this coming week at PVH her in Fort Collins. Basically they just want to get an idea of where the rest of her GI track is. I guess that is a nice thing to know.

Well, that's all for now on the case of the AWOL Appendix. Stay tuned next time to see where the rest of her organs are!

PS. For those of you that have watched X-Files in the past, I can assure you that none of the future test have anything to do with bees, clones and or any vaccine that I know about.

Tuesday Chemoscopy

Look, I made a new word "Chemoscopy"
Chemoscopy-- Definition: (Noun, Adjective, and Verb.) Pronounced-- (Kee Mo Os Cope ee).
1)To drive to Denver for many procedures. 1a)The act of lots of procedures being scheduled for the same day. 1b)To describe a day filled with medical devices such as small intestinal cameras, fiber optics, laxatives, access ports, IvIG, and chemotherapy. 1c)To give multiple procedures that have to do with chemo, and multiple "oscopy" procedures in rapid succession on one day. "Abby will have a Chemoscopy on Tuesday, Mark told his concerned friends."

Yup, you got it. It's Chemoscopy Tuesday next week. Here's the day plan give her multiple laxative for about 12 hours before. Drive her down to CHOA where they will give her Vincristine and IViG in 2 hours instead of the normal 4 hours. Then by 10am ish we will give her some other lovely looking "clearing" device to help the colonoscopy go better. We will arrive at the outpatient surgery center where they will put her under for the procedures, and endoscopy and colonoscopy, to determine what might be going on.

So you say, "where did all this come from?" or "When did this all get scheduled?" Well, just on Friday, so get off my back. I can only type so fast! :) just kiddin'.

Ya, so Friday Tiffany took Abby to the GI Doc and they decided to try to get this all taken care of on the same day that we have chemo/IViG schedule, Tuesday. By Friday afternoon they had it all scheduled. They don't think there will be much to see but with her tummy being in such disarray for such a long time they want to make sure there isn't something more going on. They will also be able to take some biopsies that will help them to determine what is going on. I'll be glad when we have something more solid, no pun intended... actually it was, to go on. Get it all figured out, that's what we'd like.

They think it is probably just some reaction of the bodies to the virus that she had where the body stops processing foods the correct way. If that is the case then we will just have to do some dietary changes until she gets back on track.

Well, that's it. Pray for Tuesday.

GI doc Friday

Well, Abby still is having tummy issues. Nauseous in the morning sometimes and well... lets just say she isn't exactly happy in the bathroom yet. It's been about a month and a half now. We had her on immodium for a few days in a row and took her off of it on Monday and back to the same old. We called CHOA and they wanted us to get checked out soon since the immodium should have taken care of it all for good. They got us in to see a doc that they work with and bonus, he's in Fort Collins on Friday! So no need for a trip to Denver. Actually the funny thing is I still have to go to Denver for a conference on Friday and a luncheon on Saturday. Then next week, Tuesday, I'll take Abby back down to CHOA for another round of chemo. After this one we only will have 2 or 3 more! Yippee! Crazy.

Other than that, the pink eye is gone... we hope. Tiffany looks like she is getting another cold and I think the girls might not be that far behind her. Oh well, what can you do? We can't just stay cooped up in the house every waking moment. Maybe Abby will fight it off! She is getting IvIG on Tuesday so who knows.

That's about it... Oh ya Abby's B-day is coming up at the end of the month! The big 5 0 minus the "0" so I guess that's just the big 5. I'll say it again, crazy! That should be a good B-day, we are excited.

Have a good night!

Still getting better

Does it seem like forever to you? It does to me. But now think things are finally on the up and up. We are half way threw the drops for the second round of pink eye (Abby, Tiffany, and Lily). I'm praying that we will get that all over with soon.

As for Abby's tummy issues, they are still there. I took her down for her 3rd fill up on Monday afternoon and they checked her out and topped her off with some fluids. I'm thinking of getting a frequent fill up card for her to see if we can maybe get one free soon. They had us take another sample in for testing to the lab but I haven't heard anything back from that so I assume it was another negative test. They finally let us put her on immodium and after a few doses that seemed to do the trick for now. I don't know how long she'll need to be on it, probably just a couple more days.

Lily has 4 teeth coming in on the top all at the same time so she hasn't been real happy about that... now I know why she is always trying to chew on our Zantac bottle! We've since bought a chew-toy for her... wait is a chew-toy what dogs get? Maybe it is a chew ring or something like that.

We'll Abby's not feeling good this morning so I'm going to go help get some food in her tummy. All in all we are doing good.

Thanks for checking in on us!

My Family is Different...

As I was watching Lily chew on the top of Abby's mega Zantac bottle the other day(don't worry it was closed!) it struck me that my family is different than most. I know, news flash did someone forget to tell me!?

So, Abby got sick again (after the pink eye) in the tummy arena on Tuesday. She had such bad issues (ie. diarrhea) that we took her down to CHOA to get checked out. She was dehydrated so they plugged her into some fluids for an hour and a half to rehydrate her. See that's what I mean... different. I mean your kid doesn't get sick and just go get plugged in to fluids. Sometimes I feel like she is a little car. "Plug her in and get the coolant flushed and don't forget I have a frequent buyer coupon." Different.

Maybe other families went put their kids in the Christmas pageant without a mask and their kids are still sick but I don't know of any. Different. I guess I could have made her a cute Christmas Angel mask with glitter and stuff but that just seemed kind of sad to be honest. She was a cute Angel though... I'll have to post some video.

So, as you can tell, I'm a little worn down... we all are a little worn down. We're trying to keep our chins up, find the best in things and not become a product of our circumstances but to be honest, it's still tiring. Just like the snow here in Colorado, it just keeps coming. Cold fronts and "Cold fronts". I'm really hoping for a change in the metaphorical and real weather around here.

So, here are some requests if you are the praying type:

• For us to all get better (Tiffany's cough, my sinus infection, Lily (whatever her deal is) and of course Abby's health.
• For us to see the best in what is set before us.
• For the Lysol to actual work.
• Good nights sleep.

I hope you all are doing well. I'm sure that we will be healthy soon... it just can't go on for more that 30 days in a row can it? I'm going to believe not.

Two words... Pink Eye

Enough said.

Ringin' in the new year

We'll it's 9pm and everyone is sleeping. I figure it's midnight somewhere so why fight it, I might as well just go to bed :)!

Actually, even though everyone has been sick and Tiffany is still pushing through the cold it still is a good night. I mean honestly I can get down about these circumstances but when you look at the whole picture... we are doing great! Remember 2 years ago? I had the flu, Tiffany had the flu, Abby had the flu and was in the Hospital getting a Broviac put in, bone marrow taken out, and a spinal tap with Methotrexate. So again, this is nothing really.

Perspective.

What a crazy time. Tiffany and I were talking and saying that it seems like it was 5 years ago that this all started, not 2. Yet in some ways it seems like just yesterday.

With all of us getting sick this break and the 3 feet of snow there has been a lot of time to think and that's been really good. Last year I think we kept ourselves busy enough to not have to think about the previous 12 months and that was good. But all this time to think about it this year has also been equally as good. It has really made me and our whole family a lot different in who we all are... and once we can start to leave this house again maybe you all will notice! But really, things are good. We would like to get out some more and Tiffany and I are definitely looking forward to being able to put Abby and Anna back in Sunday school or take them to germ infected play room in the near future. Actually I bet it will be pretty hard not to hose them down with sanitizer or burn their clothes when we get home but I'll cross that bridge when I get there.

And there is coming up soon! When Abby is done with this round of chemo we should have only 3 more to go (slight chance of 4 but I'm holding out for 3). That sounds weird. She'll be done in 3 months. Done. Weird. I don't know if I'll be relieved or just stressed about it coming back. I'm going to shoot for relieved with just a tinge of stress on the side. Anyway that is going to be a really nice belated Easter present. Maybe we'll chance it and take her to an Easter egg hunt... outside of course... with a mask. Hey with 11 days to go on Easter Sunday I may just for go the mask... we'll see.

Well, I got to mention 3 new years and an Easter here in one post so I'd say my job is done.

Happy New Year!

Ahhh... we are ready for the new year! Yippee!

Actually, we are all doing pretty good. Abby has done great during this round of chemo. Still lots of "hold me's" and such" but otherwise really good.

Tiffany has the cold that we all had finally and I think Lily has it a bit too.

I have a sinus infection and I'm starting my second round of antibiotics (just got off Amoxicillin). Hopefully this will kick it.

Anna went to the doc with me yesterday and she got a chest X-Ray. Everything seems to be going good, they just wanted to make sure since she has been sick for soooooo long.

Well, that's the update! Hope you all have a happy new year too! Stay healthy and wash those hands!!

Chemo before the storm

We just got back from Denver... What a drive it was! Yikes! Lots of snow. Another 1-2 feet expected tonight. Denver seems to be getting more than we are. I guess shoveling will once again be in my future... round 28 I think. Maybe since Abby will be on Dexomethosone again I have her help shovel. They increased her dosage so that should be fun. Not really.

I feel like we moved to Michigan or North Dakota or something... so much snow! Piles everywhere and more is on the way. At least it is pretty.

Well, once Abby is done with this round she'll only have 3 more chemo's to go (maybe 4 but I don't think they'll tack that one on... we'll see). I'm so excited. Nervous but excited. It will be really weird when we don't have to give her nightly meds and such. Weird.

As for the sick front in our house, it seems that a high pressure system is starting to move back in to our house. Some of the pressure still seems to be lodged in my sinuses and maybe Abby's too but otherwise the big bad low cold pressure seems to be on the way out. Whew!

Well, everyone is back up so... off to hold Lily!
