September 8, 2008 morning part 2

Stu and I sat in on rounds a little while ago. The doctor did not seem concerned that Brandon's platelet count is low or that his white blood cell count is slightly high. Brandon does not seem to be acting sick at all so as of now he is not concerned about it being an infection. They will continue to watch him and see if he starts to act sick. He will have another CBC done on Wednesday to see what his platelet counts are then. Brandon will be up to his feeds goal at 12:00 today. His iv was removed last night when we were here. The doctor also did not seem concerned that Brandon's respiratory rate has been slightly elevated at times. He said they look for the trend and it is okay if his is up and down. They would be concerned if it was constantly high.
