Today Jethenro's WBC count remains critically low~0.2 for those of you who understand the scale. His ANC is 0. Antibiotics are keeping the infections at bay~so we don't really know all that he is fighting. His fever stays around 99-100 during the day, and increases some in the evening. Every kind of test that can be done to find the source of fever has been ordered. We are convinced that it is his body reacting to such low defenses.
He has been receiving nupogen (a WBC booster shot) daily, and are just waiting for his bone marrow to begin working again. As long as he has a fever, he will remain in the hospital.
We are still keeping your precious child in our prayers. Hugs, Trish
