Day +19

No ANC counts today. It is evident that his white cells are going up. However his platelet count is figured into all of this. By him being "platelet dependent" for the next month or so, this will make the ANC lower.

Quinn did have more solid foods today with some nausea. The switch over could be difficult with all of the fluids he is receiving still. He also managed to drink the required amount of fluids as well! Today Quinn had his first 4oz. of grape juice. Yep, grape juice and no bleeding! What a treat for him and me. For some reason grapes, onions and tomatos caused him to bleed before. I would imagine that having donor platelets on boards is what helped him along. Unfortunately, until his new platelets come in we will continue to get platelets probably every other day or hopefully three. Will see how his body handles all of this

The girls went to the triplets birthday party today with Uncle Chad and Aunt Megan. They had a nice time it seemed and was glad that they could all be together. They dropped the girls off at the hospital and came up to see Quinn for a bit! What a refreshing breath of air that was to see my brother and his family!
