Brody has an ANC of zero now... probably no surgery tomorrow

Brody's ANC is now zero.  (Basically this means he does not have a functional immune system right now). Thankfully his blood and urine cultures remain negative.  

It is unlikely he will be able to have surgery tomorrow.   He wouldn't be capable of fighting any infection after a surgery.  

Brody is being started on Bactrim IV again in addition to his other antibiotics to help protect against development of pneumonia.   He will also start Neupogen to help kick his ANC back up.
