Platelets are 178 after the first big month of work and trips!! :)

So my platelets are 178; a bit on the low end, but technically still in safe range (100-500) which is a big relief after my first big month of daily work, work travel, and a fantastic trip to the beach with John! (Pics http://gallery.me.com/lauren.aichinger#100546) My body has not had so much activity since summer '08 and I'm so happy that it seems to be functioning properly :)

My Hematologist Dr. Pastore was a bit nervous by this number because the last time I was off meds and had a reading in the 170's he brushed it off and 2 days later I had relapsed and was hospitalized again. SO I'm taking it VERY easy this week and going back in just one week for another test to be sure.

I hope this finds everyone well and I'll let you know Monday's results!
