Today is day 5 and Kelly has been really sick for the past two days. He has had a tempurature, his appitite is decreasing (gone), and he just dosen't feel good with sevier flu like symptoms. The Doc. says this is all normal and to be expected - I just wish there was something we could do for him. I was told this was going to happen - but I wasn't prepared to see it. There is so much going on inside of his body right now. They say once those new stem cells graft and start producing he will start to feel better. We can't wait.
Today his White Blood Cells are 0.02 (normal: 3.2-10.6)
Absolute Neutrophil Count is at 0 -(Engraftment = ANC to be .5 for 3 consecutive days) Hemoglobin is 9.0 (normal: 15-18)
Platelets are 18 (normal: 177-406)
He is hanging in there and is able to rest in between interruptions. There are great doctors, nurses and aids taking really good care of him. We appreciate their hard work. We all love him so much its hard to see him so sick and we can't wait for healthier days. We just keep cheering those stem cells on. Go stem cells! Grow stem cells!...
