White Blood Cells = .9
Hemoglobin = 8.1
Platelets = 120
Absolute Neutrophils Count = .765
So, what does this mean? He's slightly neutropenic (can't fight bacterial infections), doesn't need a blood transfusion yet, and is able to clot blood should he get a cut. His white blood cells and neutrophils have both come up from Monday so good news for us. : ) We were told by his doctor that this type of treatment tends to cause the blood counts to jump up and down... Let's hope he's on the up and that the down doesn't go too low.
