Are you Freaking Serious????

Well.. from our title you probably sense something unexpected popped up today.. if so, you are correct!!! We've talked about how Lincoln's infection is still unknown and the Infectious Disease doctors have been looking at him.. well today we found out that his platelets are still continuing to drop drastically without any known cause. At midnight last night they were 56.... and at the noon testing today they were 25.. the problem is that they should not be dropping at all... he just had a new platelet transfusion two days ago yet they cannot get high and stay high.. knowing this the NNP told us that he has completed his 10 days of the 3 broad spectrum antibiotics and is still having the serious issues with his platelets and low blood.. he is at the point of needing yet another blood transfusion today but they are holding off for now since they do not want to pump any more liquids into him... so knowing this.. they tell us they are going to start him back on Amphotericin B.. this is the very strong antibiotic he was on for over 30 days and JUST finished.. so now we are restarting it... ??? Very confusing. They also mentioned that he has e-coli in his breathing tube (this is round 3 of e-coli for him) and a 'bactierial infection' at is t-tube sight. But they aren't worried considering the extreme dosage of antibiotics he has been on.. so the KICKER is.. if this new antibiotic doesn't get it then they will call in the Oncology department.. so, having done my OWN research I knew already that the lack of balance and issues with his blood could possibly be related to Leukemia.. I asked our NNP and she agreed... this is why they mentioned Oncology... they have been unable to figure out his infection and blood issues and mentioned something about 'blast cell's' he has. So that is our latest shock! The fact that the Neonatolgists and Infectious Disease doctors can't figure this out is worrisome.. It's just crazy that our little adorable perfect boy is being tried like this in his little life.. what does give us hope is his strong will and gentle nature... he is the miracle boy in our eyes and we fall more in love with him every day.........................
