Monday's Lab Results

Well, Lucas had another blood draw on Monday and this one did not come back as good. His platelets had dropped from 191000 last Thursday to 97000 on Monday. And with Lucas' pediatrician out sick, Denise and I didn't see this as a very good sign.

But Denise called Children's Hospital and spoke with the team that we dealt with when we were there for the IVIG treatment. They were not too worried as they don't start getting concerned until the levels drop below 50000. Then today, Lucas' pediatrician spoke with them and they said that for 3 months after IVIG treatment, his platelet levels are going to look like a roller coaster. That was reassuring at least from the standpoint that this is all normal.

So, the little guy will have another blood test next Monday and we will see where he lands!

Thanks everyone!

Troy, Denise, Lucas and Libby
