Dr. D came by this morning while Mr. T slept....and he said this is the time to rest, replenish & recover. He also said that Mr. T 'just may be in the process of engraftment' as the white cells are 0.2??? Can that be possible...or is it a false reading?? they don't really know....but that would be really great though! It would be quite early as we are only Day Plus 11...but anything is possible! He will come by later and let me know if his neutropolys are up as well. There are people here who are a week ahead of us...and they have no counts whatsoever! The team keep reminding me that 'no 2 kids are alike' & that everyone is different. And yes...I will clutch that straw as tentative as it is!Also he is no longer retaining fluid on board. Liver enzymes are slightly elevated...so they will keep a close eye on his liver.
The other day when he was peeing blood I called the night doctor on call to check Mr. T....and she had told me it was from the mucositis. This Dr. does work on all the floors not just Bone Marrow...so maybe that's why she wasn't too informed.
Well...I have always believed that nurses know best. Today a nurse told me in detail...that mucositis affects the gastric system....in other words...from the mouth to the butt. It cannot affect the penis or urine.
Mr. T's urine was brassy red from blood in his kidneys.....and he pukes up red which is the mucositis. Hopefully they can clear that up soon!
