Alright so here is an update/prayer request….

Over the past few weeks Eliseo has had intermittent hip pain, the pain is pretty minor and doesnt happen often enough that it’s been something I am too concerned about, (all of his pain triggers my PTSD lol but I vent it out with friends and keep it under control).

Anyway, Tuesday, Eliseo called me because his knee was hurting, it was turning red and a little swollen, he swore he hadn’t hurt it in anyway so this concerned me. I went and checked him out so I could get a look for myself and triage whether we needed to go to the doctor. I decided it was something we could see our P*P for so we did that the next morning. Our oncology nurse asked about hip pain and I mentioned the few times he has told me about and the knee pain could be a secondary pain coming from the hip pain. Eliseo’s pain tolerance is so high now that he could very well be dealing with the hip pain by adjusting his walk and not realize it, causing the knee pain.

Insurance is a headache and declined a CT (because radiation causes cancer 🤦🏻‍♀️, imo what the heck doesn’t and been there done that but whatever). So we will do X-rays in the AM to check out what’s going on.

One of the things that is common with kids that have been on heavy dosages of steroids is something called AVN (Avascular Necrosis). Basically this is a disease that causes bone death due to the blood supply being cut off and the culprit is the steroids. The hope is to rule this out and it not be the diagnosis.

The stretch below is something I have to do with Eliseo everyday, it has been extremely painful for him but makes him feel so much better after the fact. I told his PT about the pains and the concerns and he did this and it has been so great for Eliseo in just a matter of hours!

There are other things we are working on that cancer/chemo have affected but for right now this is the biggest issue and one we need prayer for. I will keep you all updated as everything unfolds.

Update:

Our EOT appointments have been scheduled!

See Oncologist in Midland on May 2nd

Eliseo’s last day of school will be on May 16, he isn’t too excited about missing all of the EOY festivities again but hopefully this is the last year that will happen.

May 20th he will have his Final Spinal, Vincristine and steroid pulse. He will also be getting a bone marrow biopsy, we will be in FW for this week.

His last day of oral chemo will be June 14

He will turn 14 on June 16

Pending results of the biopsy he will have his port removed on July 8🙌🏼

He will see oncologist monthly for 1 year

He still has PT/OT weekly in Midland.

🙏 Eliseo has had consistent nose bleeds for the past 2 weeks. His platelets are fine right now but please pray that this is just something random and not cancer related and that his bone marrow biopsy is clear of all malignancy!

Eliseo’s OT evaluation was very encouraging! His strength is where it needs to be, he just needs some help with some endurance due to his neuropathy. This kind of goes hand in hand with what he is working on in PT as well. He thought he wasn’t going to do well but he actually did better on some of the tests than I think I could’ve done. He also works better with his left hand than he does his right in some things, it’s weird but cool lol.

This is our 3rd appt so far and he has been doing great! He has a pretty set schedule over the next few months for PT. Every Wednesday @ 11:30 will be traditional PT and every Thursday will be aquatic sessions .

Tomorrow is a little different, they had a cancellation for OT evaluation so we will be here tomorrow morning @ 9am to see what he needs for that.

Slowly but surely he will get back some of the strength cancer and chemo have hindered. Not looking forward to the constant trips to Midland lol but so happy that they have these services for him and it’s not all the way in Fort Worth!
