Yikes, Beth, I'm away from my computer for a couple of days and look what happens. So sorry to hear Earl is going through this. A heart catheterization was the way they first found Al had a platelet problem back in October
2009. When they did the lab work before the cath was done, they came in and told us his platelets were low. And that's where our journey began. He wasn't actually diagnosed with MDS until May 26, 2010 after a second BMB was done.
Anyway, I'm praying for a good outcome and that they'll find nothing serious with Earl. I think he's dealing with quite enough already. He's just lucky he has you in his corner. My poor husband has to deal with a nonmedical person like me!
God grant you strength and healing for Earl.
