Day + 6
This is Coleen posting.
Angie's counts today are: WBC .2, HGB, 91, PLT 10.
When platelets are 10 or below she has to have a platelet transfusion. She had her transfusion earlier this morning and it only took about 15 minutes.
It is very busy being a patient. Bloodwork, Doctor's rounds, nursing checks (vitals), dressing changes, hair washing, room cleaning, etc. At 12 noon, Angie is finally resting. We have been up since 5:30am. She is exhausted and not feeling the best. She is feeling a little hungry today, but the dilemma is "What to eat?" We called mom to the rescue, and she is going to whip up some split pea soup and bring a can of tuna. (Angie's request, certainly wouldn't be mine) Mom is due to arrive at 1pm. Mom will staying for the night.

Hey Angie,
I've been thinking of you for a while now (since I found out last Aug. about your diagnosis). I did email you but my email to you bounced back.
Coleen sent me your blog site and I've been following it daily.
I just wanted to send you all my best wishes and to let you know that I'm thinking of you. It sounds like your being well taken care of, but if you need ANYTHING at all don't hesitate to let me know. Same goes for you Sue.
