PBMT - Day 49
Mama took Adrian back to the Day Ward for blood test this morning. It's the first time Adrian actually walked to the Register/Admission Office without being held, more felt like he's a toddler instead of a baby. We met lots of old friends there at the Day Ward and many of whom had already finished treatment for a while. They were happy to see us back in the Day Ward (which means we are home and not being hospitalized); However, Adrian didn't seem to enjoy the overwhelming response and he acted so independent that he'd rather play on his own!!! His blood counts are all right with Neutrophils at 0.80, Platelet at 124 & HGB at 9.7. Will be back again on Thurs....
Adrian started the oral medication of 13-Cis-retinoic acid (13-cis-RA) (a.k.a. isotretinoin or Accutane) today. He will take this consecutively for 7 days in alternate weeks for a year. The logic for taking this in alternate week is to minimize its side effects such as cracked lips/skin peeling etc.
