Back on an IV.  Yesterday I got some good news on my blood test and some not so good.  The good is my neutraphils are in the normal range, white cells also, hemoglobin is 10.3, and my platelets have double since my discharge from 21000 to 42000.  My hemoglobin was slow to catch up last time.  Once my platelets hit 50000 it is less a concern for bleeding.  The bad new was my magnesium was low so I'm getting an IV for four hours today at the apt.  I thought I got away from IV's  Better at the apt. than in the hospital.


God Bless ,
Scott

Hello Everyone. Scott is eating a little more, so hopefully he will gain strength and be able to go fishing one of these days. His BP is under control now since they increased his meds, And he is sleeping really good (so am I with no interruptions). One day at a time, and each one a tiny bit better than the last. Hope you all have a great holiday weekend.

I talked Scott into letting me take his picture this morning  - Here it is... and yes that is a breathe right strip on his nose  - and the pickle shirt!!

    Happy that you're growing platelets - sorry that you're not eating platelets full of food! Someone needs to drive down from Denmark with some Suster's Chicken for Scott. Mmmmmm. K
