baby sleeping comfortable in hospital bed

Avery did so wellย yesterday post-LP! She didnโ€™t seem to be in any pain from the procedure, slept well, and had a good appetite.

  • WBC: 1.6
  • Hgb: 8.3
  • Platelets: 95
  • ANC: 0.01
  • Blasts: ZERO

The Doctors are expecting the LP results today and will let us know as soon as they hear something.

Weโ€™re still trying to get Avery to gain weight. She is nursing during the day and taking fortified formula at night.

Theyโ€™ve added a couple more calories to each feeding and we hope it helps her gain quicker.

A side effect of the chemo is weight loss, so, naturally weโ€™re trying to counteract that.

Fortunately, babies donโ€™t really know nausea, so her appetite hasnโ€™t decreased much.

Otherwise, sheโ€™s still sleeping well through the night and either smiles at her care team or gives them a side-eye. Those are her two moods towards them for now.

Her anesthesiologist yesterday said the side-eye meant she knew a stranger when she saw one and was very smart. We agree.

Keep praying for no infections, good results from the LP, andย REMISSION!!
