Day 3 his ANC is 0. He has had a fever bouncing between 100.8 - 99.8 I pray the blood cultures show nothing - that means it's nothing serious. He's been getting nose bleeds which is a sign he needs platelets. his platelet count is 33 also --- the doctor won't transfuse him unless he's 20 which is insane because he's a baby! I'm not happy!
Day 2 his ANC is 0. He has had a cough too that doesn't sound like his normal cough. It's concerning me and so I called med room and told them. 2 hours later he spiked a fever 101.0 so that is our automatic admission for at least 2 days inpatient at the hospital. They drew lab cultures and have to wait 2 days to see if anything grows off it. If it is a nasty bacterial infection of any kind it would grow in the cultures within 24 hours. So its always good when you hear nothing from the cultures. They automatically give antibiotics to start combating anything that might be going on.
