Some good news...  One of Lexe's physicians, Dr. Wright, told us that Lexe has registered an ANC count.  Even though the count is low, it does show some small signs of cell production.  We will continue to monitor her labs and hope for great things to come in the next few days.  We have been told that her ANC count needs to show an improving trend before Lexe can leave the hospital.  Lexe's birthday is the 25th of May and we are all hoping that she can be home for her birthday.

Last nigh Lexe had a minor setback.  She developed a fever that spiked up during the night.  She was aggressively treated with antibiotics and the fever seems to be under control.  Unfortunately, fevers have an adverse effect on ANC count.

Over the next few days we will try to keep Lexe fever free, kick back and grow some cells.  If all goes well hopefully Lexe can come home for a week or so and officially conclude "round one".
