How Tami is Feeling

We have some more information regarding Tami's numbers.  At her last blood draw Tami's platelet count had risen to 75!!  As you remember, that's up from 69 at her previous blood draw. Her white count has risen to 3.9 up from 2.7 at her previous blood draw! Unfortunately, her red count had dropped slightly. We will post those numbers as soon as we have them.

As of 5/26/09 - Tami's count followed by the normal ranges:
White Blood Cells 3.8 (4.0 - 11.0)
Platelets (150-350)

Back on 5/1/09 - Tami's count followed by the normal ranges:
White Blood Cells 1.7 (4.0 - 11.0)
Platelets 16 (150-350)

We are still unsure what is causing Tami's numbers to rise.  It will be interesting to see how the doctors explain the increase.  Whatever the reason, we are just so happy that Tami is lucky and her numbers are rising and not dropping!!
