Can't sleep

Lucas's heart rate drops a lot during his sleep.  The nurse last night changed the lower bound to 57 so the machine won't keep beeping.  The nurse tonight changed it to 50.  Doctor said it's a side effect of a drug we are on.  Still, I worry that his heart rate will keep dropping.  DAUNOrubicin has potential side effects on heart function, especially on young kids.  I really hope Lucas will come out of this to be cancer-free all his life and no lifelong side effects.

    Completely share your concern and anxiety. I guess that you know, but just cannot help it. Try not be too nervous and worrisome, as you also need to sleep, eat and relax to function and take care of Lucas. It is a tough battle, but Lucas will come out of it and become stronger.
