More Transfusions and Low Counts

Alex started to have a nose bleed last night, so the doctors ordered him more platelets overnight. This morning, his Hemoglobin was only 7, so they are ordering up a transfusion for that too.

The doctors came in, and not all the results are back from the CT scan yet, but there was nothing in his sinus cavity. As soon as the abdomen is done, they will let me know.

Alex's ANC halved overnight to only 16 - wrong direction for going home. I have a feeling we will be here for at least another 4-5 days, since he gets Chemo tomorrow.

The doctors are also going to check his stool, to see if something isn't hiding out in his colon, that they can treat, and eliminate the fever. They told me what it was, and I promptly forgot. In the meantime, we need to be in isolation until he poops...prunes anyone?!?
