In hospital
I came into hospital on Wednesday as needed to have a PRBC & platelet transfusion. I hadn't felt very well that morning as well. 2 days before counts were HB 74 Platelets 18 Neuts 0.01. Anyway I had the platelets then when I was having the 2nd bag of blood I started shaking. Nurse gave me a couple blankets and others also complaining of room being cold. Anyway tea came along. I started to eat some and was promptly sick. The blood was stopped and I was moved to a room on my own (because of low Neuts ). I had blood cultures done that night and then again the next morning because of high temperatures. The 2 nd bag of blood was sent back to be checked out.
Anyway I am now on a 6 hourly Antibiotic IV for a minimum of 5 days. I am also bring nursed as a Neutropenic patient and on a restricted diet. I have had 4 Neupogen injections which is slowly improving the Neuts. Yesterday's blood test they were 0.18. Apart for the time for the antibiotics Dr won't let me home until my temperature has been below 38c for 48 hours. It was up again this morning. I don't know if I"ll have to stay here until Neuts get to at least 1.
