PBMT - Day 66

Other than Valentines' Day, the big news today is Norovirus was found in Adrian's stool culture!!!! We got transferred out of K8N to K7N for complete isolation this evening. Since Norovirus is very contagious and we were given gowns & masks to wear immediately. The regulations in K7N is a lot more strict than K8N because it's the ward for all infectious disease (e.g. chicken pox etc.). Doc said it may take weeks if not months for Adrian to go completely clear of the virus... that means we are back to the days at QMH again!! Meanwhile, 3F8 continued and there's absolutely NO REACTIONS (not even rash/hives) for Adrian. He was purely having his nap during the entire 3F8 infusion. Adrian's Neutrophils, however, went down to 0.74 with Platelet at 129 and HGB at 9.8. Adrian's ALP level (liver function test) is slightly higher than normal. Doc wasn't sure if it was Norovirus or Accutane that affect it but had Adrian stopped taking Accutane for now....
