Matt did great at taking himself to the hospital, as an out-patient, for his two bags of platelets. I think it took him about 1 1/2 hrs. for everything to be done. They always watch afterwards to make sure you don't have a reaction to the products, so that takes up some of the time. Matt always complains about how long everything takes. I'm thinking if there was a drive-thur transfusion place, that wouldn't be fast enough for Matt.
Physically, Matt is really doing so much better than his first round of chemo. But now at the end of the week he does look a little pale and he gets a tired more easily. But this really is all normal after chemo.
Matt has an appointment this afternoon to check all levels, so he will find out today if he goes in for blood transfusions.
So all is good and God has truly blessed Matt. Please continue to lift him up in prayer as it is making a huge difference. I'm going to try and call today about a blood drive for Matt and will post here when it is set up. You can still give blood to benefit Matt (read my early post on how). Just remember to ask for the blank coupons that you will turn in to me to complete an put with the hospital bill. It really is one of the best gifts you can give!
Thanks to you all. Have a great Friday....and GIG'EM AGGIES!
