Well, here we are again. I'm sitting beside Fionny as he sleeps in the hospital bed. His ANC was literally zero, folks. Well, 0.03 to be exact. So even though his temperature has already dropped into the normal range, he was admitted to the hospital. We are waiting for his blood cultures to come back so they can rule out something bacterial, but they strongly suspect he has a virus. Conor was told to expect for him to be in the hospital for at least 48 hours, maybe more. We have to wait for his ANC to climb back up from the bottom of the barrel where it is residing now. It needs to be 200 before he can get his walking papers.
Based on all of this, we can definitely assume that Fionn will not make counts next week which means that we are staring down a Thanksgiving dinner in the hospital if he makes counts the following week. Ugh. Trying to remember that this is truly not a big deal in the grand scheme of things. And it's really not. It's just...hmm...unpleasant, shall we say?
I'll update once we know more.
On a positive note ... Cheesies reheat really well. Sending more prayers to DC!
ReplyDeleteWell, you guys will just have to come over to our house for some turkey and stuffing a few days after Thanksgiving! xoxo
ReplyDeleteThanksgiving is a day to give thanks for your blessings! Different countries celebrate this day of thsnks between October and December! I believe that it is not observed just by an arbitrary date on the calendar but rather the day chosen by the observers to thank all for their blessings! This is typically shown by the serving of Cheesies at the main meal shared by family and friends...blaze a trail and chose your own day of Thanksgiving!!!!!! Love and hugs to all!!!!
