Tony's appointment today was at 4 PM in Farmington, and because he was the final appointment, it took about an hour before he got blood results back, and at that point he was almost back up to Tremonton. An on call doctor from Huntsman called us to let us know his platelets were down below 6 again (6,000). So they were too low for their machines to read. The doctor let us know that anytime they drop below 10 he is at risk of spontaneous bleeding in the brain which would be (obviously) very bad. But they were all closed for the evening and he couldn't even reach a scheduler to see if he could be scheduled for the morning, so he suggested we head to the ER. We arrived around 9 o'clock PM. They hung his platelets at around 12:30. His platelet infusion finished at about 1 a.m.
Now we are just waiting to be released to head back home and get a few hours of sleep.
