Hi Birgetta A -

I finally charted all his blood numbers for up to 2 years. I am just now getting to know what all the "initials" mean and which ones are important, so I appreciate your heads up.

One of the ones that always confuses me is the size of his cells - they are very large (RDW). They have grown from normal around 16 to 30 and continue to get larger. I have not received an explanation that makes senses. Are you familiar with the large cells? Deb
