Week 2
Week 2 was a crazy week. Kylee's counts all started to drop as well as something called her ANS. If her ANS drops below 500-700 we have to be very careful of infection. Hers was 1036 on Monday but by Thursday it had dropped to 350. They decided to have me give her shots to increase her WBC and as of today that is helping. It was up to 600 range today. Her hemoglobin is also down so we had to be very careful that she wouldn't hurt herself or scratch herself as she could bleed very easily. It got so low that they decided to give her a blood transfusion so on Friday she went inpatient until Sunday. Last of all she became dehydrated and so mom got to learn how to give IV's. She ended up gaining 2.2 pounds overnight from the IV so we had to stop them. So overall a very crazy week. Happy it is over and hopefully week 3 goes better. I also got a call from my mom today that Kylee has started to loose her hair. So I am off to Hobby Lobby tonight to get some cute hats, scarves and wraps for her head. She also got a very pretty sash from our friend's the Lundt's that says very important princess. So that has been the overview of week 2 and we are now starting week 3. If we can get past Wednesday things should get a little better as the radiation will be reduced from head and spine to just head.
Thank you for all the prayers and support.
