More sleep...more platelets

I am tired today. My platelets (those blood cells that help our blood coagulate) are barely increasing and the doctor has ordered two more units for today. With the units from Monday and Tuesday, that will total 5 units of platelets.

I slept 10 hours last night - of course I was up every two hours peeing - and when we came home from the lab appointment this morning, I slept for another two hours.

This is the low point for my bone marrow after the chemotherapy has worked its best to knock it out. It should get better as the days move forward.

As I said, I'm tired.

Grace and peace,
Tim.

  2. Go platelets! Trusting tomorrow will be the day you start on the UP for bone marrow action.
