It's turn this crap around day. Well, maybe it's getting the groundwork in place to turn this crap around day.
Status on what's going on.
Today, after the lab failed to have the platelets ready for the morning transfusion, I'm back in the chair for a 1pm transfusion. The doc wants a full set of blood tests and we'll work up a test for h.pylori bacteria as well. It seems that he'll look at a lot more of the out-of-box areas of focus for causes, which is a reaction to the failure of a splenectomy to result in higher counts.
I've identified a UCSF doctor that is interested in talking and he'll get some faxed results soon. Maybe we'll talk tomorrow. Also prepping for Mayo Clinic discussions in the next couple days once we get a good hematology POC identified.
Platelet count for today is 9K. A bit surprising but not the first time I've had an oddball higher count. Friday will determine if there's an up-trend.
