Platelets today 1
someone sent me a link saying the John Hopkins news I posted last week was not true. I'll post the link later when I'm not in hospital getting transfusion.

the good news is that for such low platelets I didn't feel so terrible. No spontaneous bruising. It's important to remember that it took the other survivors about a year to stabilize. I've only been on my program for about a month.

It's also good to know Marla stopped transfusions when she was at 8 plts and Bruce is still alive transfusion free 8 years later w plts between 10-15. I have inspiring emails from both that I will post soon.

In the end it is only numbers.

Don't get me wrong...I'm a little sad also. I had hoped that they might bottom out at 3 or 4. The challenge is to see reality and to stay positive. In the meantime the tv tempts me with fried foods on the cooking channel, cakes, even a wendys frosty is looking kinda delicious.

Please sign up for shifts. I am not afraid to admit that I need your help right now. Let's pray a perfect place to live will emerge before august 10
