In the right direction

  • WBC is 430! this is the kind of movement they are looking for
  • Neutrophil count is 215. This one is important, as it needs to get to 500 or more before she can get out of the hospital
  • Hematocrit is 37, so no blood transfusion needed at the moment.
  • Temperature is 36.8 (98.4). Lowest it has been is quite a while
  • Heart rate is 118
  • 1 bag of platelets transfused (that is 17 total)

Quite a difference from when I left last night. Unclear if she will get off ventilator today. As they reduce her sedation, she tends to freak out a bit with the ventilator. Hopefully she will feel well enough to understand why it is there and what is needed to remove it.

Feeding through tube in stomach last night and continued throughout the night.

More later when we see the doctors.
