Well, she got a blood test today and she will need a blood and platelet transfusion. Her hemoglobin dropped from 8.0 to 7.1 in 4 days (I hope the lab was right). Her neutrophils are staying steady around 700-800. Everything else is normal in her blood work. She went two weeks without a RBC transfusion, which is the the longest she's gone since ATG. Her platelets are a teeny tiny better. Normally after 4 days, her platelets are under 12; now, they're around 16.
Edit: She went 3 weeks without a transfusion after right after ATG + Prednisone. I forgot about that. But this is the longest she went without blood since that 3 weeks elapsed.
Why did she go three weeks without a blood transfusion right after ATG + Prednisone? The hematologist never said anything about this.
