I didn’t blog about this earlier (I didn’t want to be a downer) but I got disappointing platelet news on Friday: my count was down to 60K. (See my Oct. 28 entry for the reason my platelet count is important.) My hematologist thought it might have been a misreading – since I’ve been consistently in the 80s for several weeks now – and he asked me to come in for another test today. I was really pretty grumpy about it and didn’t want to go in for the test; Q’s theory was that I scared the count would be low again and I’d be forced to go on prednisone. Well, I *did* go in (like a good little patient), and I just found out that my count is 90K. This is the highest it’s been since I’ve gotten pregnant, and I might not even need to be tested again before the due-date. This is *such* exciting news, and I had to jump on here to share!
