Day 14: Check out the numbers - things are VERY hopeful - PRAISE THE LORD

Colleen is chewing up platelets. At 9pm Thursday she had more blood drawn, platelets were 16. She got more platelets at 11pm Thursday night. I don't have her Friday morning numbers yet. Her POST PLATELETS blood count Thursday morning was 57, so she gets an immediate "bump", but then it is gone in 12 hours or less.

Her Thursday 9pm WBC was 4.9 (excellent, normal WBC is 6.0 to 15.0).

Her Hemoglobin was 11.7, so the blood she got on Wednesday was plenty, and she is retaining the hemoglobin, so that is excellent.

Her blood pressure is now being controled with medication, as she cannot maintain it on her own.
