A Platelet Emergency

 We went down to Farmington for a blood draw appointment at 8 a.m.  The results came back that his platelets were under 6 (thousand) (too low to read). We went to my aunt's house in Syracuse to wait for the nurses at Huntsman to call and set up a platelet infusion. She took great care of us with watermelon and Belgium waffles while we waited. The nurses finally called and got us scheduled for an 11 a.m. infusion.

Usually his infusions are in the big infusion room in a small cubicle. But they took us to a private infusion room. (We are guessing because his white count is so dangerously low). Things ran pretty quickly and smoothly, but it still made today a long day. Tony was able to get a good nap in when we got home.

  1. Man, he's really going through the wringer again isn't he. Glad he was able to get that done and able to go home after.
