We've got the perfect storm brewing here...Hayden's neutrophil count is extremely low - it's at 0.04 so his immune system is extremely low. If it bottoms out, he will likely spike a fever. Plus, he started coughing in his sleep. So, we're on high alert but hoping to avoid another hospital stay.
Tomorrow's lumbar puncture is a go but we're still paused on the home meds (oral chemo). It's not the dr.'s orders but we're keeping him home from school until next Tuesday - that's his next blood test.
To look at him, you would have no idea that anything's out of whack. He looks great and he's happy...nothing a little home-schooling won't cure.
