Clinic visit update

Austin went to BMT clinic this morning. He has lost a full kilogram since last week - which isn't good. He either needs to start eating more real food, or he will have to increase his meal replacement supplement to 4 cans a day (he drinks 3 now for breakfast, lunch, and dinner). His platelet count also dropped down to 34 (a "normal" platelet count for an individual is between 150-400), so he is still very low. However, the doctors decided not to transfuse him today because they think his body is producing some platelets on its own. The idea is that between now and Friday we will see if his counts increase or decrease. Always a continuous waiting game around here..... now hoping those stubborn platelets will start multiplying!
Austin's friend Brian came over today to play a few matches of Yu-gi-oh (a dueling card game).

Hi Lyndsay and Austin -
We really appreciate the updates!! It helps us to keep you in our thoughts and in our prayers. From that information (and the notes your dad/grandpa provides) I'm able to keep our church family up to date on how things are going. We're cheering for you all the way!! So glad you are able to be out of hospital! GO platelets, GO!!
Blessings and love....

Υou ѕhould glance at Yahoo's home page and note how they write post titles to get people interested. You might add a video or a picture or two to get readers interested about everything've ωгitten.
