Day 102 ~ On the way back up

Mom is improving already today. Her temp is down to 99.5 and blood pressure is still normal. Her white blood cell count is up to 1.2 and the neutrophils have come back a little.

She is still receiving Neupogen to help stimulate white blood cell creation and is receiving two different antibiotics in her IV to help fight whatever infection she has. For the first time ever, Mom didn't know anything about one of the antibiotics she was given - I'm a little disappointed, as she usually knows the full medical background of every drug. We're going to have to take away her honorary pharm degree!
