Pop Update 3/18/2008
Just a quick update and addition to yesterdays post since Pop went early for blood this week.
Pop got his blood and platelets today. His hemoglobin only went to 8.5. They usually give him blood at 8. He was at 8.5 last week. His platelets rose to 54; however, you have to remember that the 2 units of blood also have platelets in them, so he got a "piggyback" of platelets in the whole blood. He was a little discouraged by the numbers, but understands that he is on the down swing. We had a long talk last night about...stuff. He is o.k. It's just tough acting o.k.
He looks much better, but is tired. It was a long day at the hospital. He is looking foreword to his lamb and mint jelly this weekend.
More later.
