June 20: Plans Change

So much for my surgery. 

Went in yesterday to see if the iron infusion I got on Monday, and the 2 units of platelets I got on Tuesday worked.

As you can guess from the title of this post, they did NOT help. My numbers actually went down, not up. So disappointed.

Platelets on Monday were 48.  Yesterday, Thursday, they were 24.  HALF!!! If I was to get the schefuled surgery today, I would probably bleed out on the table.

My oncologist / hematologist is baffled, as is the surgeon.

I am now scheduled to get more iron via I.V. next week while they try to come up with a solution to my platelet problem.  Argh!

Guess it was for the best.  Weslee started having a LOT of seizure clusters last night and again this morning. He fell back asleep before 10 this a.m. and slept for another 1.5 hours. Maybe he was picking up on my stress? He does that sometimes.

It is just after 2 p.m. and he fell asleep again. Seizures are more than the disruption of the brain's electrical impulses. It can be physically draining as well.

Weslee needs more brain surgeries for his seizures.  To help, please like, follow and share .. PLUS .. please go to his Medical GoFundMe or to our Paypal ... Thank you.
