So Matt's platelet transfusion worked great. He was at 10,000 yesterday morning and today he was back up to 64,000. Amazing. All his other counts are good for now, but by early next week everything should be bottomed out and he will need blood and platelets. The next couple of days are the most important in keeping him healthy and not exposed to any little small infection. He will also need to be careful since he bleed more easily during this time. Hopefully there won't be any ER visits this weekend.
Again, he gets checked three times a week. So continue to pray for good news. How he reacts this part of his therapy will help us judge how the next three chemo treatments will be and all I can keep saying is this is so much better than when he was in the hospital for 28 days.
Got a pot of chili cooking and cornbread is ready. We are getting ready to get our GIG'EM on! Hoping the Aggies beat the hell outta LSU!
Hope you all have a blessed weekend. Love to you all!
So glad to see he's hangin in there. Are blood donations still welcome? Can we still donate on his behalf? I can't believe time has gone by so quickly. I should be able to donate again on the 18th, but it will have to wait until after GTC... Let me know to make sure and fill out that paper...
ReplyDeleteSo you can still donate anytime. He will be receiving treatment for 3 more months. Thanks and I would wait, if I were you, until you get back from GTC, that way you won't have any arm bruising to show up in all those wonderful pictures you'll be in!!! Georgia
