Day +26 - Jump in WBC

WBC 1,100
Platelets 54k
Hemoglobin 11.9
Temp 102

He got a huge jump in WBC today! Praise God! I added the blood count ranges to the left template, you can see he needs 4000 more WBC to be in the normal range. He had a 102 fever all night and was restless, also not breastfeeding. The Tylenol helps. He perked up this morning after I stimulated his attitude with Sesame Street. He ate one bit of cheerios and 3 oz milk, then felt like breastfeeding. He gets sleepy with the Benyldryl and Tylenol.

The rash has not spread to legs. A little more on his face and arms. A lot more on his torso and head. Still coughing. His eyes are red and puffy. I'm waiting for the doctors to do rounds. I'll post another update later today.
