Olivia's ANC levels have shown a lot of improvements the past couple days. From 90 on day 2, became 144 the next day and today it is at 198! Her hemoglobin remained the same at 7.5. Her blood was also checked for immunoglobulin levels as well and it showed below 500 which is low. Because of this, the doctors ordered that she gets IV-IG (immunoglobulin through IV). I don't know much about this yet as this is the first time she is taking this. This will help her immune system fight viral infections. Just like blood transfusions, she is being monitored for any reaction. The transfusion lasts for 5 hours.
We are hoping that she gets to go home tomorrow! More updates to come!
