I've got a bunch of things rolling around in my head that I could totally blog about, but I think for now I'll just stick with a health update.
Over the last 3-4 weeks, I've been getting NPlate injections again (if you remember the trial drug I was on a while ago, it's the same drug, just FDA approved now and we're able to use it as the Doctor wants to, and not confined within the "rules" of the study.)
I've had 3 injections so far, and my platelet count went from 3 weeks around 22, 23k, up to 34,000, to 88,000 last Thursday!!! The injections seem to be working while on the smallest dose so far, so please be praying that the dose doesn't need to be increased (That's where I ran in to bone pain from the bone marrow working extra hard to produce platelets) and that I continue to repspond to the drug. Originally, before FDA approval, I stopped responding to small doses and the dose had to be increased.)
That's pretty much all there is for now - Livi & Hunter think they run the doctor's office and even the ladies in the finance department who remember me from when I was pregnant with Liv come out once in a while and say "This is HER? She's so BIG!" just because they ALL remember that we were fighting for this perfect little 3 year old, along with fighting for me!
Speaking of the three year old:
