So much has happened since I wrote last Saturday. That evening, Bryce developed some nasty pulmonary edema, which compromised his breathing. As a result, chemo was postponed for a day so they could drain the fluid from Bryce's body.
Bryce was stable enough to resume treatment on Sunday, thank goodness. Unfortunately, his breathing was getting much worse, which required the use of 15 liters of oxygen on a non rebreather mask around the clock. This is a very large amount of oxygen.
He was transferred from Denver to LDS hospital in Salt Lake City last night via air ambulance. Right now he is in the respiratory ICU, waiting for his lungs to respond to the chemotherapy. The tumor on his heart is quite scary also, because it could perforate the pericardium if it doesn't stop growing.
We'll find out soon whether the chemo worked.
We remain hopeful, and we are so grateful for the prayers and support we have received. If you have a yellow Live Strong wristband, put it on for Bryce.
