Nathan had a clinic visit today. His counts were somewhat better than I expected. He had been pretty emotional, tired and his nose was seeping a little blood-tinged mucous. His counts were all down but his white counts are still in a good range with an ANC of 1800. His platelets are low but not in transfusion range. I was a little concerned about that so it was a relief that he does not need one. His weight has gone back up a pound. We were all pleased about that!
Like I said, he has been pretty tired and emotional. It is something we do see with declining counts. He did go to school today and had a really good day - so I think when he came home he kind of let down. He had a major crying fit about not wanting anything to eat that we had available to him.
The next clinic visit is set for Monday - but we are to keep an eye on him and bring him in for counts later this week if it seems like they may be getting too low. By now we know some of the signs.
So - that is it for now. I am hoping to have this baby in the next week - so send some labor vibes my way!
