Stem Cell Recuse
Eden started her morning yesterday a bit pale and warm prior to her getting her stem cells back.
Basic vitals prior to the stem cell transplant were:
• Weight: 18.9 kg
• Height: 123.5
• Temp: 98.8
• Pulse: 112
• B.P.: 105/64
• Platelet Count: 25
• RBC: 1.2
• HGB: 5.6
• WBC: 11.2
Infused was 2.65 X 10 to the 6 per kg divided into two bags. Robin her transplant Nurse Practitioner infused them manually trying to control Eden being sick or in any discomfort. It helped with the discomfort and pain but not with the sickness. She got sick a couple of times, during the first and second bag. Because her HGB and Platelets were so low we also infused red blood and platelets. It was a long day at the hospital. However, near the end of all the transfusions Eden perked up a bit and that’s when I snapped this picture of her. As for the rest of the evening, Eden did not sleep that well and this morning after getting up for school had to take a quick nap before going. She made it to school in pure Eden style, let the party begin. After school, she had a hearing test to make sure her hearing aids are keeping up with her needs. She has stabilized on her hearing lose for the present time. In addition, she visited the chiropractor Dr. Cole to help with the pain and discomfort she has been having over the last several months. She states that after being with Dr. Cole that she feels better. Therefore, if it helps we will do the best to make her as comfortable as possible.
