Autologous Cord Blood (Stem Cell) Transplantation - Day 39

Today is "technically" the last day of the 3F8 treatment (though we've been talking to our doctors about adding a few more 3F8 courses for Adrian), Adrian did pretty well as he needed only one extra shot of Morphine and slept for the whole afternoon!!! Out of our surprise, Adrian's Neutrophils went back up to 1.21 today with Platelet on a rising trend at 63. Dr Cheuk mentioned a bone marrow biopsy has been scheduled for Adrian on Monday to assess how his marrow has grown. If Adrian's Neutrophils continues to remain stable, he'll probably be discharged in a week or so. In preparation for him returning home after the transplant, the Dietitian came to meet with Mama late afternoon to talk about how to properly prepare the food specially for a post-transplant person (baby in this case) at home.
