MHRH / Home
Weight: 13.6 kg
Nurse: Sheila
WBC: 0.1
So today we got news that you do have a bacterial infection. It is similiar to the infection you had in June and therefore will be treated with the same antibiotics. They were worried for a bit that it was the exact same infection, which could mean that there was an infection in your central line. Anyways, you will be on antibiotics for 10 days, every 8 hours, which means day passes again from 12 pm to 8 pm. We are upset that you are not home with us 24 hours a day but we will take 8 hours, especially since you will be able to stay in Medicine Hat.
You still do not have any neutrophils and your WBC has not come up yet so we need to keep you close to home. Hopefully your counts will rise in the next couple of days. Your red blood count as well as platelets have dropped, but only slightly.
We are going to take advantage of the hours you are at home to spend as a family and just enjoy each other. I know everyday you can't wait to see your sisters and ask and ask until they come up to the floor. Now, you will be able to go home with them every afternoon. This afternoon you are crafting with Abbi and make a Batman poster to go on your door at the hospital. A very special nurse brought it by for you and you were very excited!
Love you more than you know,
Mom
