Annie's blood test today showed her blood counts being stable from our last visit. Her hemoglobin was 7.9 last visit and 7.4 this time. While for a healthy adult this would leave us passed out on the couch, Annie's body has adjusted somewhat to these low counts and she is functioning pretty well with them. Her platelets were 21,000. Last visit was odd in our getting a range of values but nonetheless this is a nice number for what we've had for the last year (albeit normal starts at 150,000). There is no news yet on the donor search as to be expected. Thus we were able to leave without a transfusion and the doctor didn't think we needed to come back for another two weeks. Thus, unless Annie feels unwell, we will report again on the 21st. Go smurfs!
That sound like good news! Prayers are still coming her way!! Love You Annie! XXOO
ReplyDeleteIt's so amazi ng how her body has adapted to these low counts.
ReplyDeleteLots of prayers are on the way for the toughest little cookie I know.
