OMS relapse......





Jymani was admitted to Childrens Hospital in Milwaukee on Wednesday, March 25 for numerous reasons, most importantly an OMS relapse. He had been sick since Sunday and he was continuing to run a high fever and have major conjestion issues along with ataxia and seizures on a daily basis. Many scans were conducted during Jymani's stay, CT, EEG, MRI and a Bone Scan, fearing a return of a Neuroblastoma. Thankfully, the scans were all clean! Doctors say everything was too much for Jymani's system especially since he is currently going through chemotherapy. He was put on 3 weeks of antibiotics and we have to come back in 2 weeks for a follow-up. Jymani is not showing the eye movements he displayed last week and doesn't appear to be too unsteady anymore. He is "acting" more "baby like" and whining that he is sick, but he seems to get a little better as the days pass. He is still quite stuffy, but the fever has subsided. We have opted to hold off on chemotherapy until he is well as requested by his neurologist. Thank you for everyone's well wishes and visits during this time!
