Dad's count low today...

his hgb dropped to 4.7....not sure what his other counts are....said he doesnt want anymore of the dacogen....he's at the hospital now getting a transfusion. His hematologist only ordered 2 pints of blood....that will not last or sustain him very long. I guess the hospital will give him more if they deem necessary.

He's so tired of all the treatment.....doesn't look the same...he is a shadow of what he used to be.... It's so hard watching your parents deteriorate.
