Sierra has been doing really well over the past few days. Even when her ANC has been hanging out at 0, she has still been in a pretty good mood most of the time. How she cooperates with her medications is usually a pretty good indicator of her moods, when she cooperates and takes them without a fight, we are good, when she fusses or gets upset about them, we are in for a fight all day. She has been taking them fairly cooperatively all throughout this stay, so I take that as a good sign. She also hasn't been running fevers this stay, which means she isn't on a million antibiotics. Today her ANC is finally on the rise, it is 54. But she also ran a low temp of 100.1. They dont usually consider it a fever until it is over 101.5, so she is still in the clear for now, but please pray that it stays down so her hospital stay doesnt get extended. She has to have an ANC over 200, and be fever free for 24hrs before she can be released. Her mouth is giving her a good amount of pain, she is on a morphine drip now, so we can stay on top of the pain, but she still is very careful about talking, and isnt eating anything solid. Hopefully she will be released this weekend.
