Hi Cheryl,
I'm thinking that this may be the case and there is some functionality. His counts are still holding. Just not liking that HB because it is the same as last week at 7.7. I'm worried about going on like this with too many transfusions for the long haul if this is his trend. I do know he needs them but not liking what I've read with the possibility of consequences.
Thank you,
Rarity
