About a week ago Max contracted the Human Metapneumovirus (i.e. a cold). Luckily again many of the medications they would use to treat him he has already been on so there wasn't much we could add. He did spike a fever of 102 with tylenol which is a big no no in the oncology world. So they tried to drown it out with massive amounts of fluids so after two days in the hospital and three big bags of fluid later his fever dissapated and he was back to his normal self. However due to all the kids in the oncology ward with weakened immune systems like Max, he gets to be in isolation for awhile. Which isn't a bad thing, because we usually get very private rooms and we aren't allowed to wait in the waiting room, which means they have to get us through the clinic faster.
