Platelets on Friday after transfusion: 60
Platelets on Monday morning: 27
They found a 10/10 donor. But before you all cheer, check these charts out here:

They (ie Seattle) also want me to try the ATG first before BMT.
I feel like I haven't had enough time with alternative methods yet. My doctor is going on vacation for two weeks and she said we could talk about it some more when she returns. She is, predictably, suggesting the allopathic route.
Blood Donation is OUT. They will charge you $375 up front to donate blood directly to me. Apparently the blood bank didn't have it together the last time that you all rushed to donate to me and because I ended up leaving town before I actually got any of your blood, the hospital ate the fees.
