Dean did receive single donor platelets on Friday, and at his labs on Monday his platelets were 5, they ran the CBC again and the platelets were 3, so the platelet count went down to their lowest point even with the transfusion on Friday. Dean has labs again tomorrow, we are waiting and wondering if the transfusion yesterday made a difference.
Dean doesn't feel any better, still so weak and short of breath. How are you feeling Bob?
You and Dean seem to be on the same schedule. He has labs on Mondays and Thursdays, and transfusions on Tuesdays and Fridays. 
We will let you know the results of the labs tomorrow. Praying that both of you have improved counts!
Lots of (((HUGS))) Bob! You and Dean need some good news, that's for sure!

Same with me, still weak and shortness of breath. Received 12 units Platelets yesterday and thank God no Rigors. We have been trying to get
single donor platelets, and haven't had any luck.
I will also let you know of my labs tomorrow, and yes I agree a little good news would surely help us.
Our prayers and love,
Bob and Dru MagicBob
