Excellent blood numbers

White 3
hemoglobin 9.4
Hemocrit 27.3
Platelets 56
RBC 2.77

We haven't hit our goals yet. That is probably a couple more months. But All the numbers are still going up significantly.

Goals

White at 5 or better
Hemoglobin 11 or better
Platelets 150 or better

Riley can travel if the platelets are above 75, To be able to handle a rough landing.
Everything looks good and improving. Remember though he is still taking cyclosporine to prevent his body from attacking itself. He has to be able to get off the drug eventually. He will probably not be removed from the drug until his numbers are solidly normal to give room for the doctors to react if the numbers start to fall off again, buy some time, a few days at least.

We wont worry about that now, but we can't get too excited. We are not out of the woods yet. We don't take anything for granted any more. The better the numbers the more comfortable we are with Riley being social and out in public.
