Fred's blood work today did not go as expected. Here are the numbers:
White blood cell count: 8.1 down from 8.4 on Thursday
Red blood cell count: 2.04 down from 2.16 on Thursday
Hemoglobin: 8.3 down from 8.5 on Thursday
Platelets: 226,000 (same as Thursday)
After consultation with Dr. Solberg at Mayo Clinic it was decided that Fred would need a blood transfusion. We go to the local hemotologist tomorrow morning for an order to go to the local hospital (either Wednesday afternoon or Thursday) to have a blood transfusion.
I will keep you informed on what happens next.

Sorry your blood isn't getting the job done on it's own. Maybe those red cells just want some company! Ha! Tell that blood to get to work!
