Mitchells fevers have been like Space Mountain at Disneyland. He peaked at his highest temp. last night at 105. He has been sleeping almost all day and night. He currently has a normal temperature with the help of Motrin. Unfortunately he doesn't get it all that often because he is an Oncology kid. The reason is because Motrin or Ibuprofen is as platelet thinner, we want his platelets up. So as it wears off there is a good chance that his fever can go back up.

So far all of his labs and cultures have come back negative for viruses and infections so the fevers and the vomiting have been the typical results of chemo. He has 48 hours of chemo left on his road map.
