God bless you, too, Sally!
I'm just grateful that my mother's neutrophils are between 800-1200.
Yes, the body adapts well to very low platelets and lower hemoglobin. My older mother can do a lot with a hemoglobin of 6.5. It's really amazing.
At the beginning, my mother got terrible bruises, blood blisters in mouth, etc. with very low platelets. Now, she only gets a tiny bit of blood out of her nose (only if she blows it hard enough). Amazing!
Please take good care!
