Jesse’s ANC is 1600!!!!
Her platelets are a little low, and she will receive a transfusion. Her red blood cells are maintaining, which surprises me. I really figured that she’d need red blood. And she might before we are able to go home.
My goal today is to see if I can get her to eat solid food so she can get off the TPN and lipids. She isn’t drooling nearly as badly, so I am hoping this is a good sign.
Jesse also has not had any morphine since 3pm yesterday. Her pulse has been great and she has not complained of pain. I see no reason to continue her on getting it and having her attitude in the toilet.
Her nurses and I have also made the decision to take her off of constant benedryl and ativan to see how nauseous she really is. And they might be taking her off of the 4 antibiotics she is currently receiving because of running the fever.
Right now she is sleeping… although there were periods in the night where I would wake up and she’d be grinning at me… I am not really sure if I should be concerned…
