Olivia was admitted again yesterday after spiking a fever of 101.9. I kind of saw it coming because she would ask for a lot of water at night and that's how she was the last time she needed to be hospitalized. She was also running low grade fevers the past couple days but because it was lower than 100.3, we just needed to monitor her from home.
Blood counts from yesterday was low and she needed blood transfusion. Her hemoglobin was 5.9 (Her normal is 10 to 11). The transfusion happened last night and today we've seen improvement in her hemoglobin. This morning her HGB is 8.6. Her ANC didn't really show improvement from yesterday. It's the lowest it has been at 80 ANC post diagnosis. The good thing is that she is 24 hours fever free. As usual, her ANC needs to go up before she can get home.
She is keeping herself busy with her new Cinderella outfit, thanks to Spirit Halloween for the event they had at the hospital! She is asking when she will come home and I always just explain to her what's going on like I'm talking to an adult. She gets it and I'm proud of her.
