Thursday's Visit

On Thursday, Andrew went to U of M to meet with the Nephrology doctor. He also had his blood drawn for a lab. Andrew's platelets are still on the rise and are within normal levels. Andrew's hemoglobin is at 10.7 which is very close to normal. This is all great news. Unfortunately, Andrew's white blood cells and neutrophils are still low. The doctors feel he isn't responding fast enough so they are putting him back on the neupogen shot. He will take this daily for at least a week.

The nephrology doctor said everything is looking good with Andrew's blood pressure and kidneys. We will need to go back for a kidney ultrasound in about 3 months.
