Day + 27- MRI today + Odd visitor


You're not my regular doctor!
Dr van Rhee wants an MRI with contrast today. Deb has been given the dye via an IV. Any minute the door will open and a driver with a wheelchair will show up to drive Ms Daisy down to MRI. 
Our hospitalist doctors are meeting in conference with Dr van Rhee tomorrow to discuss the plans for Deb.
For those just tuning in, the days in the title above  and chart below are days  since the infusion of the Natural Killer Cells obtained from our daughter Amanda and expanded at Baylor University. Additionally, Deb has had 2 stem cell transplants plus a boost, which to us appeared just like another stem cell transplant. 
Platelets -(Normal range 150-500)a whitish colored component of blood. Low platelets=higher Woozy factor!
CRP -(Normal range = 0.0-10) An indicator of relative health. Lower is better. When the number creeps up, Deb could be getting sick.
