Blood Counts:
WBC = .3
Hemoglobin = 7.1
Platelets = 24
Abs. Neutrophils = Zero
Last night Logan was started on a new drug, sargramostim (Leukine), to stimulate his bone marrow to produce blood cells quicker so hopefully, if it works, he'll recover faster from his neutropenia. No growth on the cultures but his hemoglobin drop far enough that he'll be getting a blood transfusion today. If he can stay fever free for the next 24 hours, we may be going home tomorrow and they will probably be giving him one more platelet transfusion before we leave (but they will check his counts in the morning first). We will be sent home on a week of antibiotics but we don't know what kind yet. I think that's all the news for now. He's feeling good and so far is satisfied with playing video games, watching some toons and playing with a few toys in bed. Amanda and I brought him donuts for breakfast this morning so we'll see what his energy level does after he processes all that sugar! : )

See if they will bring you a trapeze from the orthopedic unit, then he can really swing. Ha!
ReplyDeleteWill keep a positive thought that he will be going home tomorrow. Love to all, Mom
