Autologous Cord Blood (Stem Cell) Transplantation - Day 11

It's the 3rd day in a row that Adrian has had some pretty bad diarrhea. He refused to drink water or soup today and doctor has finally started TPN on him which would hopefully help to maintain his weight (his weight dropped to 10.15 kg). Blood result showed that his Neutrophils moved a bit to 0.04 with Platelet at 27. With his counts so low, it's somehow difficult for him to get well on both his bum and the diarrhea situation. Mama bought a cream recommended by the nurse to put on baby's bum and we tried to keep him naked as much as possible so the air could dry it out.
