Today is Cycle 2 - Day 12. According to yesterday's blood draw Trey's ANC is Zero, which means he has no infection-fighting white blood cells right now and is at high risk for infection. Mr. Trey is on lock down until his counts begin to rise again. The Nurse Practitioner told us to use precautions to keep him healthy but keep a realistic outlook as we can't live in a bubble (she doesn't know me all that well yet because that is exactly what I would try to do!). Anyway, I am trying not to go overboard and we are keeping a close eye on little man Trey. By Monday we hope his counts will be back on the rise.
The doctors have told us that children tend to feel "yucky" when their counts are low and may not be themselves. Also, the cell booster shot we give him each day may also cause his bones to ache a bit. Our little guy just isn't himself but he is still eating and drinking well so he is good. He has spent this morning watching Blues Clues on his floor pillows and eating mum-mum treats. We are heading out for our stroller ride and he should be snoozing in just a bit. Thanks for all the positive thoughts and prayers!
