Lucas is hospitalized again for febrile neutropenia -- no fever for 24 hours and waiting for ANC to stop dropping (2254 Monday pm, 520 Thursday pm, 370 Friday am). Cold with cough for almost two weeks. Tested positive for rhinovirus (nose swab) and negative for pneumonia (chest x ray). The whole family went to visit this evening. Alex practiced his Chinese writing at the hospital while Lucas played with my pen pouch. The nurse will get extra blood sample to test IgG level tomorrow am. Overall Lucas has good spirits and appetite. We hope for cough to go away and quick recovery for ANC. Hemoglobin and platelets didn't drop so I felt this ANC drop has more to do with viral infection than from chemo. 6MP is on hold since Thursday evening and will wait until it recovers to 750+.
I know it's been a tough go of it, but he looks great. It's nice to see his hair growing back. I hope all goes well with the IVIG.
