She has been seeing a hemotologist. She is seeing one here close to home and then she sees the doctor at Yale New Haven whose specialty is hemotology and bone marrow failure. Yale had a conference on Friday with other hemotologists and oncologists to go over all of my mothers blood work and medical records to determine exactly what is causing her platelets to be so low. It's been a little confusing because they started with chronic lymphatic leukemia and then changed it to aplastic anemia and now the doctor at Yale isn't convinced that was it is. Like I said, her platelets are very low but she isn't bleeding and her bruises clear up almost as quickly as she gets them. The little red dots have all gone away as well. She feels great. They did give her prednisone in the hospital but they didn't see any changes so they decided to take her off of it. Hopefully we will know more on Tuesday. Thank you for your replies. It all helps.
