We are back to watching counts - his white count is 3.0 (normal range is 4.0 - 11.0) and red count is 3.25 (normal is 4.6 - 6.2). These are on there way up and pretty much on schedule considering all the infections and antibiotics supress these from coming back.
The platelets are always the issue for us it seems - right now his count is 12 (normal is 150 - 400 and they will not even think about letting him come home until the counts hit 50). I think that they were considering giving him platelets today in clinic but no one wants to do that. We have to go in tomorrow at 9 AM and take blood again - I am figuring that if there is not some kind of improvement , then he will have to get platelets.
Blakely is going home tomorrow night so we will be left on our own again. Jack is still taking breaks from his O2 (breathing?) but the doctors aren't worried unless he gets dizzy or short of breath so I will let him work that out on his own and see what happens(?)!
