Yesterday was another busy day- the HLA cross-matched platelets on Monday did not take. Platelets were at 2 from the first draw on Tuesday so the doctor called the blood bank to try and get more platelets- they found some but they were being donated at that very moment in Shasta. The doctor talked to the blood bank to have them transferred from Shasta to SF without the 2-3 day holding period since the patient has donated recently. They admitted Terry into the hospital since the platelets were to arrive around 9 last night. The doctor also spent quite some time yesterday with the insurance trying to get an approval for the chemo which isn't typically used for bone marrow transplant. They are supposed to be giving the chemo today and again on Sat, then Tues and Fri next week. They are still intending to admit her to the hospital on Wed. The extra-special platelets gave a big boost to 122!!! We'll keep you posted- thanks for all you prayers.
