All day long in the chair! |
Naomi was our nurse today.
While in the waiting room we met new classmates from Oklahoma City{bottom pix} (now Fort Smith Arkansas) and {top pix}Mississippi. We enjoyed trading stories about our myeloma adventures.
When Deb's labs came back, she had some needs.
White blood cells=0.05, normal is 3-12
Platelets-critically low=14, normal 150-500
plus other minor needs
So, an infuser was started, and an order for matched platelets was called in. That takes awhile. In fact, it took until about 5 pm! We thought for a while she might have to spend the night in hospital if they could not find these special platelets.
The matched platelets |
We are forecast to be 107 actual degrees on Monday. Today it was 104 but felt 109. I'm installing a ceiling fan in our small condo LR to help us cope.
Thankful the platelets were located.
ReplyDeletePraying for a restful night after a long day,
and better numbers tomorrow.
Love, hugs, & prayers,

Warren and Warren, Jr. are platelet donors. I will share with them how much they are blessing a patient like you somewhere. I am thankful for whoever donated the platelets you are receiving! Praying for a restful Sunday. Love, Mary
