Nothing new to report with little Oliver. He is still holding his own! His Doctors are considering starting chemo Monday or Tuesday. We will do more tests this week to see how he is responding to the steroids. His platelets were below 5,000 yesterday afternoon so he was given another transfusion (half of what he's been getting) and at 4:00 this morning they were at 8,000-that's progress! His belly continues to grow...his bili and blood gas will be checked tomorrow and his electrolytes are being scaled back from every day to twice a week. He is getting off TPN (nurtition through the IV) and had the IV removed from his left hand...so now he just has the PICC line :)
Oliver sleeping in on Sunday morning :)
Oliver rested well last night without the use of pain medications. Sean and I requested that we be given the opportunity to come hold Oliver when he's upset before any pain medications be given. The Doctor gave us the thumbs up and we stopped the use of morphine. We also asked if Oliver could have a swing to help sooth him-which worked like magic! He loves it and is off narcotics! Win-win ;)
