Discharged!

His ANC today is 22, an improvement from 0 for sure. No temperature for more than 24 hours and blood culture stayed negative for 48 hours. Sometimes low ANC itself causes fever and that's probably the case for Lucas's fever this time around.

We will be back to clinic for chemo next Monday and would expect another dip in ANC. So I will still be monitoring his temperature every 4 hours. Let's hope with him eating much better, his immune system will come back strong!

The movies we watched and loved in the past 2.5 days are: Sinbad and Madagascar 3 (or in Lucas's language, the pirate movie and the angry tiger movie). Lucas also likes Shrek 3 but I think it's in no comparison with Shrek and Shrek 2.

  2. Good to hear you will be home soon. Hope Lucas is getting stronger day by day!
    Did that "I sing" baloon eventually sing for boys?
