Dear Glitter and Lace

It had only been 9 months since my last dental cleaning, but my platelets were at 28,000 last check and I said "I'm going". I had no problem whatsoever with the cleaning.

I had Horse ATg in March 2012 - last transfusions of PRBC and platelets were on April 17th (5 weeks post ATG). Last CBCs: Plt 28,000, HGB 8.7 and WBC 4.1. Next appt is this Wednesday.

My issue has been getting my tacrolimus trough up high enough where it needs to be. Last reading finally up to 4.2 which is close to the recommended level for tacro of 5 to 10. Dr. says this could cause a delayed response.
