Hi Juliet! Well congratulations...it sure does seem that your daughter is recovering quite well.
Re: platelet count, well I have read of other cases familiar to your daughters. The platelets do seem to rise albeit slowly, but surely. I also just wanted to mention that platelets are not necessarily the last line to respond. I think that for a large majority this might be the case, but for a few others the platelets are the first line to respond. I only say this because that was what happened in my son's case. His Hgb was last to rise and is always first to drop too! I never quite understood why a few people experience this and others don't.
Anyway, hope this helps
