I guess I forgot to post Fred's blood work on Thursday.
His white blood cells were 8.4 (great)
His red blood cells were 2.16 low, but up since Tuesday when they were 1.9 (normal 4.20-6.00)
His platelets were 8.5 (low) up from 8.1 Tuesday (normal 12.1-17.2)
Dr. Solberg did not feel a blood transfusion was needed yet due to the Aranesp injection he received on Tuesday showing his numbers came up since Tuesday.
Fred has blood work scheduled for this coming Tuesday, so we are hoping his numbers go up even more.
He is very tired due to the anemia, but he is learning to just do things slower and take those naps that are so important.
