They are busy up here! We had to hang out in the observation room for a while until they could get him a room cleaned.
He got his first dose of zosyn at 2:00 and his fever is still hanging on between 101 and 102. His lip is totally weird. Last night he had a tiny spot on his lip that was bleeding and bleeding. Nothing else, it wasn't swollen or anything. It finally stopped bleeding so I didn't worry about it. This morning he woke up with a fat lip and started the day with a temp of 99 that just kept on rising. The fat lip has continued to grow and get redder throughout the day, and has what looks like a blood blister on it. Like I said...weird. He doesn't feel good at all, wants me to sit and hold him in bed
so here we sit. weight 16.4, 36 pounds. WBC 0.3, RBC 2.57, HCT 23 which is borderline transfusion level, PLTS 16 which is almost to transfusion level too. I wouldn't be surprised if they decide to transfuse especially if counts are lower tomorrow. Lymphocytes are at 90 % which is high so I wonder if he is trying to fight off some kind of virus. I'll update soon I'm sure. Thanks for the prayers, rides, babysitting, etc!!
Poor Guy! And I was thinking the other day when I saw that lip wound and you predicting his counts would drop that putting those two situations together would not be good. So is his lip wound infected with something nasty, maybe?
