Blake Wayland

One more thing... I almost forgot... I was sitting in a chair in the room and Blakes dad was talking to him and told him his Uncle Glen had sent him a Turkey call, then his dad was making a turkey sound... Blake put his hand and finger up, which his dad thought was to thumb wrestle again, only to ...

First, let me clear one thing up... Blake is still in intensive care and is heavily sedated. Although he "Wakes Up" on occasion, he is not at all "Awake".

Next, I just returned from the hospital and we have news on the "rash"... He had a less than severe reaction to an antibiotic he was on which ...

Nothing new to report. Time keeps chugging along and the Doctors cannot explain the skin condition. Hopefully we'll find something out soon.

Nothing new for the evening... Hopefully the night will continue to be uneventful.

Got the CT Scan back. White pockets found in lungs, not sure if Pneumonia or what. Dr's cannot understand why it would be Pneumonia because the antibiotics he has been on should have taken care of any infection he could have had. He will be sedated more and then they biopsy the tissue in his lungs ...

Got some Platelets last night but but it's business as usual... Still on the respirator, High Temperatures come and go, He still needs to lose 7 liters of fluids but his kidneys are working about as fast as they can, He's pretty awake and he's communicating quite a bit. He indicates that he is in NO ...

Temperature came down last night and Blake slept really well, except for that one time he tried to sit up for the nurse; I think that scared the hell out of her.

Also, the tried to tell me nicely that only one person was allowed in the room after hours and I basically said, "I understand" then ...

Temp has shot up to 104.3... Tammy is sleeping Blake may have an allergic reaction to the Anti-fungal drug... What does that mean? He'll get a fever... which he already has, he'll get a rash, which he already has, and his throat may swell, but with the breathing tube in, no worries about that... It ...

The only thing that has been consistent with this whole ordeal is that Blake gets a fever at night, and it drops during the day. Well, today we got quite a scare... but it was much of the same thing... 105 degree temp... No explanation, but they are speculating he has a Fungal Infection.

Just when ...

Soon we'll be making updates every day, its just that not much has changed, and I guess that's a good thing.

Right now, we're in the room with Blake and the power is off in the room. The generators run only the important stuff (Like the respirator and pumps)...

Blake has been fighting like a ...

Dude, you are such a fighter. I am so proud of you for how strong you have been. I love you very much and cannot wait until you come home! Everyone wants you home! So get better NOW!

During the day, Blake was energetic and did his normal acivities. At night, he began to get high temps. Blake went to the Doctor August 23, 2004 and was diagnosed with possible leukemia. After tests, it was determined he had Acute Myeloid Leukemia. He went from what we thought was a healthy 10 year ...
