Another day of ANC 0.

At least we passed the 24 hour fever quarantine and we can go out of the room.  His energy level isn't as good as two-three days ago and doesn't want to walk on his own.  Appetite still low, and doesn't want to drink water.  The doctor wanted him to continue with cefepime for protection until his ANC recovers.

Today is day 8 of this hospitalization.  Looks like we will surpass our record of longest hospital stay of 10 days at diagnosis.  For the blood infection in March and seizure in April, he stayed 8 days each.  Our pediatrician has over 25 years of experience and has seen 8 leukemia cases.  He said our additional hospitalization is the most he has seen.  But if that's what it takes to get Lucas cured, that is what we will do.

Got up 5:45 this morning -- unexpected flash light from the camera!
