Platelets low, transfusion tomorrow



Primary care givers; Nancy (on left) spells Emma 24-hr giver.


Blood work this morning showed continued decrease in white cell count and that my platelet count at 46 is below the desired minimum of 50 so platelets were order for a transfusion tomorrow morning prior to the implantation of a new line to be used for collecting the stem cells .



Nurse suggested that we move closer to the hospital tomorrow after the procedure. We will load the car with some stuff today and then come back for more tomorrow.




I continue to feel good and have a good appetite, so much so that I am actually gaining weight, and have had no toher sleeping or nausea problems.
