Saturday, 29 August 2009 - Day + 19

Drew had a restless night, with his temperature reaching 39.5 through the night. He wasn't very happy or well when he woke this morning. His white count had dropped slightly again, so the Drs are going to double the medication which increases the growth of white cells (and causes Drew bone pain, which has subsided over the past couple of days). The 'snot' test and swab as well, was on again today - Drew was over the moon - NOT. The results came back and he has a common cold, not swine flu - although even common colds aren't good when you've just had a bone marrow transplant and don't have very many white cells. He picked up when his brother's came and Kyle put his lego set together, which Drew received for doing excellent school work last week. Hopefully those white cells will show a nice little jump tomorrow.
