Count Recovery Day 3

Monday, October 12th

Avery still struggled with stomach pains last night, but she was able to rest a little bit. She continued to run fevers over night.

Her platelets were 50 and hemoglobin was 6.7, so she required transfusions for both starting around 4am. Her sodium was back up to 137, and her ANC remains 0. All of her cultures remain negative for growth.

She still fought fevers and stomach pain throughout the day, but the Tylenol seems to be keeping the fevers at bay a little longer than yesterday. The team is still worried about both of the issues, so they ordered a bladder scan and another urinalysis to rule out some potential causes. She is urinating much more frequently now, but she is having some pain and trouble going. They will continue to investigate in hopes of being able to provide her some relief.

She did have some short moments of playfulness today. She played with slime and Legos and played superhero bingo. She was all smiles when Superman and Supergirl came to her room to deliver her prize from bingo. Most of her fun was cut short with pain and chills, but it was nice to see a few smiles today.

Please continue to pray for:

- No positive cultures

- Relief from stomach pain

- No more fevers

- Rest

- Recovery
