Wednesday February 19

Trent had to go back in the hospital this week.
The pain and discomfort was just too much.
He is comfortable now and has pain medication at the touch of a button.
Labs came back today and he has a adenovirus infection.
Not sure what that means, but Kristie might know. I'll talk to her later.

Monday Feb 17

Trent is going through pain from the shingles.
About once every 2 to 3 hours, he gets pain that is severe.
He does have pain meds that are just now starting to help, but the doctors have to adjust the dose a little at a time.
Trent goes to CHOC everyday to get a anti-fungal IV.
Please pray that Trent's body will have peace soon.

Tuesday Feb 11

Trent's rash has been getting better, but now he is fighting shingles.
This is very painfull, but the pain is not all day. It comes and goes.
He does have pain medication, but it's 100% effective.
School is going well.

Friday

Trent's pain is gone after some alieve and exercise. He should not take the alieve, because the doctor told us that alieve effects the platelets. That's OK because Trent has not needed it the last couple of days.
Trent is still fighting the rash, but it does not itch and it does not cause any pain, so we'll just be patient.
School is going well and Trent is eating well.

Monday

Trent got home yesterday.
His rash seems a little better with new meds, but his pain is still in his knees and feet.
The doctors seem to think the pain is due to the steroids, so they are going to try reducing his doses.
The steroids are part of the rash treatment, so it's not something that can be removed quickly.
Please pray that the rash and pain can be treated soon.

Thursday

Trent's rash has gotten worse this week and he woke up with knee pain so bad that could not get out of bed.
Kristie took him to the emergency room and they admitted him back into CHOC.
He will spend the night and the doctors watch his pain and the rash.
Please pray that his rash clears and the pain goes away.

Saturday

Trent has been doing well this last week.
His rash did flare up a little, so the doctors did change his rash treatment.
He got a transfusion and platelets this week as well due to lower blood count.
His energy level is still lower than normal, but that will change in time.
He is still eating good and drinking lots of fluids.
