We couldn't get him to get up and eat today for breakfast and lunch. He was very irritable and complained tiredness all the time and just kept his eyes close lying in bed. The home care nurse came 12:45 to check how I was doing with the antibiotics. She heard me saying that I'm concerned and took it very seriously. Oh, he is holding his urine again. No pee since 10:30 pm last night.
We were very worried that it was leukemia coming back. But what do we know. Blood sugar = 24. We are glad we came since such blood sugar could be very serious. His ANC is 2400 today and no blast! He does have 3% Myelocyte which is young white blood cell also -- I guess we can still contribute that to the recovery process.
Most likely he will be admitted for sugar fluids tonight. If we cannot convince the doctor that he would eat well at home, we might need to stay here until his chemo next Tuesday. But the thing is that the longer he stays in hospital, the longer it takes him back to normal when he gets home. Hopefully with his ANC and other blood numbers back up, he would feel better while staying at the hospital. He needs to play -- he haven't walked around for 8 days now. I hope they get us to 12th floor soon if they want him to be admitted so he get to go to the play room a bit. He didn't get to go at all last week because of the fever.
Hi Crystal - maybe you want to try lemon warm water. It helps to increase urination. Add some honey if needed. Honey can help to boost immune system. Also, in Walmart or Target, you can get O.N.E. pure coconute water which help to increase urination as well. Keep faith!!
