Autologous Cord Blood (Stem Cell) Transplantation - Day 10
Adrian was completely exhausted and had the best night sleep ever in the isolated unit last night. He continued to have diarrhea today but not as serious as yesterday (approx. 5 times vs 10 times). After receiving 2 units of platelet transfusion yesterday, his platelet went back up to 45 but Neutrophils hit the new low of 0.01!!! One temperature spike was recorded (38.2 C) - though we are expecting fever to develop any time now with the low counts. Not much improvements on his red bum and we are hoping it's not going to get worse as baby will be in big trouble if infection develops. Not sure if it was diarrhea that's bothering him or he's fed up with the hospital food, Adrian was on strike! He's only willing to take fluids like soup, water and maybe rice water at most. Big headache for Mama....
