The prednisone help to bring his platelets up to 26k. In the past when they gave him a prednisone boost they would go up much higher.
We have a blood test on Tuesday and I'm hoping that his platelets have gone up a little. However, I have noticed that he is getting tired and winded much easier for they past few weeks. I'm thinking that his HGB is low right now. Spoke to his doctor last friday and we asked about an unrelated BMT and he thought Gage did pretty good with the ATG treatments and that we may consider trying another round of ATG. I always wonder if we are making the right decisions. It's just so hard to tell. His doctors only make suggestions but ultimately the final word is ours.
