Well, my blood was even worse this morning so my doctor decided to push back treatment. White blood cells are at 1.5k, Neutraphils are at 0.2k, and platelets are down to 8k. They gave me some more steroids and prescribed me some to get me through the weekend. They gave me a shot that should help my white blood cells. And then this afternoon I’ll get a platelet transfusion.
They’ve scheduled another platelet transfusion for Monday and will check my blood Monday morning as well. We may delay for a bit until my blood improves. I’ve just been told to take it easy for now.
POST TRANSFUSION UPDATE
Platelet transfusion went fine. No complications. I’ll rest up this weekend and we’ll reassess on Monday. I’m feeling worn down but it could be a lot worse. More family comes tomorrow. It’ll be great to have them around and will be really good for my boys to have more people to play with while I’m resting. Ari is almost 4 and used to playing pretty rough with me so it’s been a bit of an adjustment these last few days. Have a great weekend! Thanks for checking up on me!
