Hopefully your husband's counts stay relatively strong. Even though his reds are low, it is nice to see the others be acceptable.

Hi DanL,
Maybe it was just a bacterial infection. MDS it's more of a concern we're finding it sometimes is hard to tell what's what.
Going to have to question the dr. about flu season that's coming up.
Yes, happy about the platelets and wbc counts moving on up. It's those darn reds not behaving. Thanks for your response. Makes sense.
Thank you,
Rarity
