Wednesday, 16 September 2009 - Day Too Many

Drew was so so today, feeling ok but not really interested in doing anything. GCSF which increases his white cell production stopped today and one of the antibiotics has been dropped, so he has 1 antibiotic once a day and fluids intravenously and the other 2 medications which he will be on to at least Day + 100 orally. On Friday they will repeat his RSV test, which means more sucking out of his nose :O( and until this test comes back negative he is not allowed out of the room. We won't find out definitely, whether the alcohol locks on his line worked until next Monday, as the cultures can take 5 days to grow, if the bug is still there he will need to have his line removed. Engraftment test done yesterday, but results will take 2 weeks to return. Blood count today 6.56, neutrophils 3.7 but will probably dip a little bit now that GCSF has stopped.
