Oliver had two platelet transfusions last night. At rounds this morning his latest count was 9,000. His body is not holding the platelets. He is receiving another transfusion as I write this. His billi continues to rise a little at each check (to be expected considering what his liver is going through). He is eating well and his nutritionist lowered the amount of food he's taking through the IV to allow him to eat more by mouth. His is off of oxygen and breathing room air but still has the cannula because his breathing is a bit rapid and they don't want him to overwork himself...so it's really just air flow at this point.
The ophthalmologist came to meet Oliver today to check his eyes. Another new member of team Oliver ;) We have SOOOO many Dr.'s and specialists involved in Oliver's care, and towards the end of the week or early next week we should have almost all the test results back...we are anxious to see if we can find something to lead us towards helping Oliver feel better!
