Holy Sprouting Platelets!

As of Wednesday...mom's platelets were back down, hovering close to the danger level. She was at 13,000--while her whole blood count remained high, at 9.7. We feared she'd have to get another transfusion of the platelets before the weekend--but that won't be necessary! Her test yesterday showed her platelets at 61,000...whole blood @ 9.1. GREAT NEWS. The Vidaza is in fact working! She sounded VERY tired on the phone today, and said she has had a LOT of bruising. The doctor didn't seem too concerned about that; SOP for this stage of the game.

Jack's school is having a carnival tonight. And Bill is home for the weekend! And our house is getting cleaned today! Life is good.
