Wednesday - Blood Test - Platelet Transfusion Needed

Matt's labs were done today and his platelet count was 11,000, so that means he needs a platelet transfusion tomorrow.  (The magic number is 10,000.)

I'm going to let him go by himself to the hospital as an out patient tomorrow morning.  He will need two bags, which each takes about 15 mins.  So I figured he will be able to do the hour treatment on his own.  Again, I'm going to try hard to phase him into doing stuff on his own some more.

Other than that, all seems to be going great.  He will be tested again on Friday and we will know then if he needs blood transfusions.

Have a great night!
