Adrian is feeling better today, at least he could sleep with the help of Morphine. The HMO this month is Dr. Chiang, he's very attentive and has started TPN on Adrian. So we didn't push him to eat knowing his mouth sore and that he'd get enough nutrients through TPN. Surprisingly, Dr Chiang prescribed GCSF shot for Adrian at this early stage. His logic is to boost up baby's neutrophils level so he can recover soon from mucoscitis on his own. It's the first time we were being "isolated" in the semi-private room since Adrian had fever before being admitted and with low red/white blood cell counts. There's pros and cons being in the semi-private room, Adrian seemed to be a little bored (& myself) as he likes to meet other people and he's not allowed to play in the library corner... however, we have more privacy and I even played some kids' VCD to baby today.
