Good evening to you. I didnt want to report anything until I had all the facts but Marcus and I are at City of Hope. He and his baby sister were playing hideout under his hospital bed at home. They had the bed raised all the way up but unfortunately he asked her to lower it. She lowered it too much and it sounds like it came down on his head pretty hard. He was crying out like he was in excruciating pain. I was in the kitchen washing my hands getting in gear to serve dinner when this happened. Once I examined his head there was an indentation about an inch long although the skin was not broken. I immediately thought skull fracture! I called City of Hopes urgent care so I could bring him in. In the interim though he was able to eat dinner and was even up walking around trying to play with his sisters. I had to tell him to sit down to keep him from being too active. He seems fine and everything is functioning normally, but I brought him in just to be sure. I wouldnt be able to sleep tonight otherwise. Hes been through so much in his little life already. Well, we just finished seeing the doctor a short while ago and were ok to go home with just observation but I really didnt feel comfortable without having a CT scan. I waited on having Marcus take a blood test 5 days before his leukemia diagnosis because after a doctors evaluation for what I thought was the stomach flu, the doctor said he didnt appear to be dehydrated and I didnt want to put him through unnecessary pain with a needle. Thats a decision I think I will always regret because maybe they couldve caught it sooner before it got into his central nervous system and caused bilateral Bells Palsy. I will never wait on anything concerning him again nor my girls for that matter. Once we have the CT scan and get the results I will try to keep you posted. Ive been so busy - too busy - and my mom keeps my sister and I on our toes. No time for rest, no time for anything really but Ill take it any day over going back through our two year nightmare. Ive got a research paper to do thats late but I think Ill try to catch a few z s until transportation takes us over for the Ct scan. Well, good bye for now. God bless you guys and as always, thank you for praying. Please keep our friends who are still fighting a valiant fight against cancer as well as those whose loved ones have passed on. They will always be in my heart.
