Harry,

It was great to see her cells at 8.5, that puts her cells in the normal range. It's the platelets that we are watching now, yesterday they were a 44 and today a 28. Its not the number that is important, it will increase or stay the same, that would mean she is making her own, and that is what is important at this time. There has been no sign of fever or upset stomach today, which is great after yesterday. They stopped her magnesium today, which made her happy. Karen ate well and drank plenty today, so now we are on a platelet watch. If wishing to get home could make platelets Harry, she would have a 1000 tomorrow. But it is just a wait and see game now, will write tomorrow.

Lynn
