2nd dose of IVIG delivered

  • WBC is 3850 (4500-11000)
  • Neutrophil count is 3510.(1500-7800)
  • Hematocrit is 26.6 (36-46)
  • Platelets count is 11 (150-350)
  • Transfusion scorecard: platelets (42); blood (23).

Denise will be receiving 5 treatments of the IVIG, each delivered nightly. She had the 2nd bag last night (actually it is in a bottle; will try to get a photo of what a clear $10,000 liquid looks like) and will repeat nightly through Tuesday night.

She will also have a skin biopsy tomorrow to determine if the rash she has developed is in fact Graft Versus Host Disease; we hope it is a minor case..

Factoid: Yesterday was a rough day in history: Abraham Lincoln was shot, the Titanic hit an iceberg, and the Great Plains saw the worst dust storm of the Dust Bowl era.
