Malcolm spiked one more fever Friday night, but he was not so upset as he was with the earlier fevers and it subsided after one dose of Tylenol (and, of course, they continue to pump him full of antibiotics). However, yesterday and today he is eating more and his energy is much higher. His ANC is still zero today but his platelets have risen to 100! His hemoglobin is also up to 91. The doctor is confident that his counts are now rising so the ANC should start to increase soon. If his ANC rises to 500 and Malcolm is feeling well, they will discharge him for a few days before they begin the next round (which typically starts when his ANC reaches 750).
Donovan left with Grandma Lee yesterday for the farm. We miss him already!
