10 Months Later.....

It's been 10 months since Coby's GME diagnosis & he continues to do well with his treatment. He has been prednisone free for 121 days now!! He had his 8th dose ("round") of lomustine on Saturday - his CBC drawn the 22nd was normal. Next month he will presumably have his 10th round of cytarabine injections & 9th round of lomustine. He continues on the Atopica for allergies, as well as clavamox for his leg infection. Unfortunately, he is still wearing his e-collar.

101 Days Prednisone Free!

Today is day 101 Coby has been prednisone free!!! :-) His CBC & chem profile done yesterday was fine - platelets were normal (they had been low 2 weeks ago). Because the labs were ok we will be giving Coby's 9th round of Cytarabine injections tomorrow & Friday. I still hate giving those! After this "round", we will only have at most 3 more "rounds" to go! I guess that would make June our tentative last month of Cytarabine!! We will continue to monitor his blood work & he will have another CBC drawn before his Lomustine dose scheduled for the 26th. His leg is also starting to look better from the antibiotics & e-collar (which hopefully we can remove within the next week or so).

Allergies & Leg infection?!?!

Here are some pictures of Coby's latest "problem" that we believe is allergy related. His leg had been getting progressively worse over the past week or so - going from a dry slightly red skin to a bright red color and moist skin. He is now on a daily antibiotic (clavamox) which was started Wednesday night. Hopefully this will be the answer we need, besides just wearing the e-collar. We have a follow up appointment with the dermatologist Tuesday morning.
