Neutrophil Nadir
6-21-2008
Jaymun has reached his Nadir for this round of chemo.
He has no Neutrophils.
He has lain in bed all day today with a fever (103.8 at last check), fast breathing, and a high heart rate.
He doesn't want to open his eyes. They put him on fluids, antibiotics, took a chest X-ray, and gave him some blood.
We are not sure why he got a rash while getting blood because the lab later determined it was not a transfusion reaction.
This is very dangerous. He has zero immune system to fight virus, bacteria, or fungus. We are praying fervently.
