Platelets catch the blood

Received another transfusion of platelets last night; 18 for blood, 18 for platelets.

Here are the updated vitals this morning. The bolded numbers in parenthesis are the acceptable low-high ranges)

  • WBC is 810! Moving on up (4500-1100)
  • Neutrophil count is 713. Need to keep this one moving up as well, need this to stay above 500 for at least 3 days in a row (1500-7800)
  • Hematocrit is still 37 (36-46)
  • Temperature is 37.9 /100.2
  • Heart rate is 134
Not clear why the heart rate is up, but will see what the team of doctors have to say later this morning. Nurse told me she had a fairly uneventful night

Factoid: If you type "do a barrel roll" into your Google search, the whole page will spin.
