Autologous Cord Blood (Stem Cell) Transplantation - Day 18
Adrian's diarrhea situation has improved quite a bit though he still has 4 - 5 times of loose stool a day. The stool that we sent to the lab in the past 3 days has shown a negative which means baby is clear from the bacteria, so one less antibiotics to take from now on. It's a busy day as Adrian needed both blood & platelet transfusions today. Neutrophils is up again at 0.76 and GCSF continued. Had a conversation with the nurse and apparently Neutrophils is only one of the major components in body's white blood cell. It's considered stable when it reaches 1 or above. However, there's other components in white blood cells may take longer (up to 1 year) to grow back to normal which equate to a weak immune system for at least a year!!!
