We had a deja vu moment last night, and not the kind that involves Denzel Washington.
About midnight, Joshua woke up wheezing, coughing, and burning up. In leukemia world, the threshhold of fever is 100.5. If the fever goes beyond that, you have to head to the emergency room. Joshua's was up around 102 so off we went.
The docs decided not to admit him to the hospital, so thankfully everyone is back home as I'm writing this. It was sort of jolting, since he's been so healthy for quite a while, but also a reminder that Joshua is still undergoing chemotherapy for leukemia.
I remember the first year after Joshua was diagnosed when we were going to the ER at least twice a month. We had the routine down. But now we're a little out of practice. Deja vu.
But we are hoping, as he goes back to the clinic this morning for another check, that everything's on the up and up, especially since this is birthday week for the J-man.

So,so sorry you had to go again to the ER and now back to the doc.
Life sure has not moved fast in the past few years for our family.
I wish to be there for all of you.
Loving you in Texas, Mom and Nana
Awww...I'm so sorry. I hope he gets better soon! Is he turning 4 or 5? I'm thinking 5...but that just seems too old...
Did you get to go on your trip? or are you still there?
Praise God!
Happy Birthday, little guy!!
Hey Amanda,
He does turn 5. Hard to believe! Our trip to Colorado was fabulous. I'm gonna try to get photos up this week. We had VBS last week so I was a bit too busy to get them up when we got back. Thanks for checking.
