Bob still in hospital... Needs more blood still


Family and friends,

Bob is still in the hospital. He received 2 units of platelets and 2 units of packed red blood cells yesterday. He also received an additional unit of blood this morning. Unfortunately his counts are still low- hemoglobin at 7.2 and platelets at 26,000 so he will remain in the hospital today and get two more units of blood, then they will reassess. I have attached a photo of Bob's foot to give you an idea of peticulae - what happens when you have low platelets. The peticulae itself is not life threatening. We hope Bob will be released from the hospital early tomorrow morning if all goes well. Please continue to keep him in your thoughts and prayers.
Love and thanks,
Michele
