More Platelets and CBC

We went in to MGH again today for a platelet transfusion. Max's platelet count was actually a little higher than I expected. It was at 13. He did well with the transfusion though he was tired when we were done and fell asleep as soon as he got in the car.

His counts were not exactly where I would have liked them to be. His red cells are down enough that they will probably transfuse on Monday. His ANC is scary scary low. His white count is down, too. I guess he does have some new cells, though.

The good news is that we were given the go ahead to go to Maine tomorrow to have Thanksgiving with Papa and Grandma Lyd.

WBC: 2.7
Hematocrit: 23.8
Platelets: 13
ANC: 54

Yes, that is 54, not 540, 54. :(
