Thanks
Thanks, everyone, for the input. I had become used to the platelet count increasing with every test, and increasing by an average of about 8,000 each week. I had a hard time when it slowed down to only 1 or 2 thousand increase each week, and a decrease knocks me for a loop. It is comforting to hear that these plateaus are not unusual, and don't signal failure.
On the up side, my daughter doesn't seem at all discouraged, and I try very hard to remain positive in her presence. Another unpleasant thing about this whole thing, for me, is that I have to pretend to be okay all the time, and I'm not. All my life I've been told how strong I was, but now I'm just tired.
