Saturday. Sleep, sleep and more sleep. Had to drag that boy out for his walk tonight. He did it, of course... but in silence. Maybe half awake. It is hard work building an immune system. :) He is starting to try to eat. Kinda tough. Nothing tastes good (or as it should). His taste buds are wiped out and he has been using a special mouth wash to help him regain saliva. Platelets dropped some today. Just praying he won't need too many platelet transfusions while his counts are still coming in. They say platelets are usually the last to get back. :/
Labs today:
White blood cells: 2.7 (normal 4.5 - 13.5)
Red Blood cells: 12.2 (normal 13.5 - 17.5)
Platelets: 36 (normal 150 - 425)
ANC: 2106 ( < 500 = severely neutropenic) (normal 2,000 - 5,000)
