Ethan had high fevers throughout the night, but handled it fairly well. The little guy rarely complains. He would shake then sweat pretty heavily. His left eye now appears to be infected. Could be chemically or bacterial. They'll keep an eye on it. If it continues to get worse, they'll treat it specifically.
He appears to be much better this morning. Hopefully, he doesn't get any more high fevers. His counts are actually still dropping though. The blood and platelet transfusion obviously helped, but his fevers probably burned through quite a bit of the boost already. I'll bet he'll need more platelets tomorrow. Looks like we're in for the long haul - 4-5 days or so.
Just pray the little guys turns a corner today and his little body starts producing nuetrophils.
Brynn and Ethan are watching the hospital's The Fox and the Hound vhs.
