Still climbing

  • WBC is 1740 (4500-11000)
  • Neutrophil count is 1460. (1500-7800)
  • Hematocrit is 25.7 (36-46)
  • Platelets count is 21 (150-350)
  • Temperature is 37 / 98.6
  • Heart rate is 98
  • BP 111/52
  • Transfusion scorecard: platelets (30); blood (20).
WBC and Neutrophil counts moving on up! In and out of the bed on 5 separate occasions yesterday, and oxygen was cut back to 50% early yesterday, and tolerated it nicely. Today will probably try weaning down to 40%, which is a benchmark number as breathing normally at that rate will probably get her off the Hi Flow cannula and something more portable, like a portable oxygen tank.

Factoid: Peladophobia is a fear of bald people! Like Denise!!!
