A quiet day

  • WBC is 1300 (4500-11000)
  • Neutrophil count is 850 (1500-7800)
  • Hematocrit is 26.5 (36-46)
  • Platelets count is 43 (150-350)
  • Transfusion scorecard: platelets (63); blood (30).

Duration on the bike increased to 35 minutes yesterday, and she is expected to get back on it today. Trying to sit up took a lot of air out of her and she was not able to sit on the edge of the bed at all. So, she did not get a chance to try to stand on her feet.

Overnight, she complained of breathing problems, so they bumped her oxygen up to 50%.It seems to me she is still having some difficulty breathing this morning, but it could just be a function of breathing through her mouth instead of her nose and the cannula.

Factoid: For 67 consecutive years, Mary was the most popular female baby name in the United States. Linda claimed the top spot in 1947
