The latest on Cole...
We had his labs done on Wednesday evening and we got a call Thursday morning from Children's Mercy. His platelets are at 23,000. He was at 28,000 two weeks ago so for the most part he's holding pretty steady as far as platelets go. His absolute neutrophil count has tripled in the last 2 weeks which is amazing! He went from 870 to 2,470. The doctor said that when you recover from an illness, your platelets are the last thing to come back up. So we are really hoping that in 2 weeks, his platelets will be up!
Most of you know that 23,000 still isn't a great number. The doctor said that he is basically borderline of needing intervention but we are holding off hoping that they'll come back up on their own!
Crazy big bruise on his chest and I have no idea what he did to get this bruise. He must have fallen on a toy pretty hard because you can actually feel the pooled blood under the skin and none of his other bruises are that way.
Some day I know he won't be this bruised but that day seems to be so far away.
