Colleen is getting PLATELETS again today. Her count is DANGEROUSLY low at 9. When she is below 50 she gets platelets. She has gotten them every day since last Friday, with the exception of last Sunday when she maintained a count of 88. The nurse said she can't go home when they are dropping THAT low, and probably with a count that low, the doctors will start ordering her blood count now TWICE a day. Platelets are coming for her soon. He white blood cell count (WBC) is up again, looks like DEFINITELY she is engrafting. WBC - 3.2, Hemoglobin 12.2. She is holding on to the blood, but not the platelets.
