Hello Everyone! I had more blood work yesterday and my platelets dropped a little more. They really think this is medication related so they took me off of my anti-viral and my antibiotic. Michael remembers one time before that they lowered my dose of the anti-viral because my platelets dropped. I didn't remember this but it makes me feel better that the anti-viral medication could definitely be the cause (which would mean my platelets dropping is no big deal).

We are back in Durham until Thanksgiving for Michael to work. I will have more blood work next Monday as well.

Much thanks!
Amy

  1. Hi,
    So glad Michael has such a good memory, makes me feel a lot better also knowing the possible cause of the drop in platelets. I told you he should become a doctor! Hope you enjoy your time together in NC, and hope to see you in CF for Thanksgiving.
    Love you both.

  7. ps.....you might want to advise your putnam relatives that everyday is turkey time for us hokie fans.....urrrrr urrrrraugh urr urrrrr urrrrrrrrugghrrrr that might explain why thanksgiving is such a popular holiday for the entire world......its the day set aside for all non believers to come out of the closet and for once in their lives be part of something special!!!!!! a wise old man once told me and i quote,
    "what if the hokie pokie is what its all about????????"
    who am i to argue????????
    and furthermore; as hard as blair has tried and believe me she has tried hard........the celebratory festival known as "wahoo-giving" just hasn't caught on yet?????? go figure?????
    love and kisses always, the planned one and family

  10. We'll be praying for that platelet count to be up, and we'll be watching for the next report that it is. Hey to Michael, too. Love you.
