We had an unexpected bonus the past couple of days - Malcolm's ANC bounced back up so we were able to go home for supper on a day pass on Thursday and Friday. On Thursday his ANC was 696, hemoglobin was 80 and platelets were 56. Yesterday his ANC was 544, hemogoblin was still 80 and platelets were 32. So he will likely need a platelet transfusion today or tomorrow. Today is dressing change day as well. Malcolm has been feeling very well he past few days and his eating is really improved - he does not seem to be teething at the moment and it has made a huge difference in the amount of texture he will tolerate.
This week we had a number of developmental appointments - Malcolm had a full session with both his physiotherapist and speech therapist. They each gave him a more in-depth assessment than he has had in months and gave me some very good tips to continue to encourage his physical and speech development. We also saw his early interventionist who was amazed at the great progress he has made over the summer.
