Day +18

Today Quinns ANC count was at 210! Yeah what a jump and almost half way there. He has finally began to agree to continue to eat real food. That is a huge bonus. He seemed to think that he didnt have to eat with TPNand Lipids running. I educated him really quick about that. So, the food of the day for him was hot roast beef with brown gravy. He did manage to drink the 9 oz. ofwater required too!! He just has so much fluids running that he needs to get off of some of them.

Some of his meds have been moved over to pill form. So, that is a huge bonus to not have that extra running. I managed to get one changed over also. The nurses and I have been working on that. I expect more to be moved over this next week in preparation of him going home if all stays the same. BTW, he is a champ at taking pills! Truly, he can swallow a cup of pills in nothing flat. Much more than I can do.

Quinn has started the past few days have serious "Growing Pains" in his legs. I have been told that it is very painful and have encouraged him to tell me when he starts to get them so that we can get some meds on board. This is from the bone marrow trying to release more white cells. Usually, this will show up in the counts soon thereafter. Go Quinn!!!!
