Despite the fact that we had to wait two hours to see the doctor today, the appointment went really positively. We were completely SHOCKED when we found out her platelets jumped up to 93! Yes, that is NOT a typo! It went from 52 to 93 in just two days! They took the blood straight from her vein this time instead of a heel prick, but even the doctor said that should have not been such a substantial difference. Doesn’t matter, I’ll take it!
The enlarged spleen is still an issue, and this doctor thinks it is related to her platelet issue (which relates to a lot of what we have read). They are going to do a spleen ultrasound next week along with a spleen Doppler (check the blood flow to the kidney). They want to rule out a problem with blood flow to her kidney, which could be the cause of her enlargement and also the platelet issue. So, that is what is next.
I’m SOOO relieved to see a 93! Granted, it isn’t “back to normal” yet, but for her, this is almost unbelievable. I was in such shock, I almost wanted them to do it again just to make sure it isn’t a fluke. Obviously, she can go up or down it seems like. But 93, yay!
