January 23rd update
Bennett’s ANC today is 1,365 from 1,625 two weeks ago! Yeah! We like it! His hemoglobin and platelets stayed close to the same at 12.0 and 181. His liver levels are still high but not as bad at 89 and 235. It appears that he needs to drink more.
The globulin dropped again to 1.2 from 1.7 and is low. His Dr. thought after he received his infusion of immune globulin at his last appt that this would go up. I’m not sure there is anything to do to improve this number because I believe he can only have this infusion once a month because of it’s side effects and extremely high cost. I will see what the nurse says on Monday.
Bennett is doing better today. He started coughing today though, Urgh! And it’s a deeper sounding congested cough. We pray it doesn’t turn into anything and that he stays healthy to play in the Freshman Hamilton County tournament next week.
