Autologous Cord Blood (Stem Cell) Transplantation - Day 9

It's been a busy day for both Mama & Adrian. First, the stool sample test result came back positive indicating some bacteria was found on baby's stool. Adrian was given antibiotics to combat the intestine illness and yet, he suffered from severe diarrhea in the afternoon. He literally had diarrhea continuously and Mama needed to change him every half an hour in order to keep him clean & comfy. Needless to say, baby's healed bum has turned all red again and it hurts so much whenever Mama was trying to wipe him clean at each diaper change. At the end of the day, Adrian didn't eat well nor even napped. He got so tired that he passed out at 19:00. While Mama was wondering if he's going to wake up again later at night, he woke up around 20:00 and had diarrhea again!!!! Adrian then had about 7 oz of rice water as recommended by the N.O. as the natural remedy for diarrhea as well as hydration.
