waiting

This morning I must have changed my clothes 5 times. Ialmost felt like I was headed to a dance rather than the hospital. Riley looks good. I put on a hawaiin party dress then changed feeling it was a bit too cold outside still. I tried to squeeze into an old favorite, but it wouldn't zip up, thus the diet. I finally ended up in a conservative dark suit, but put a festive polka dot shirt with it, perfect.

We eat and drive to the hospital. Riley does need platelets. He is down to 4. But his other numbers are good. WBC is at 1.1 up from 0.3. Gran is .2 up from .1. HGB is 9.0 just below normal range 10.5-Even so, going a week without transfusion and not having any emergencies is fantastic.

We will be here a while having to do platelets, but I am still happy. Riley is working on his homework, maybe.

  1. That's really great. WBC is white cells, correct? It seems really good to have an improvement in that, because I didn't think transfusions helped. I think it's probably due to the Neupogen? But that his body is responding to it seems a good sign.
