Timothy...drum roll please... was created by lucidawn
He had one of his typical very very low counts 2k. So he went in for IVIg...three days later, his counts are...526,000! OMG. He has NEVER been that high. Don't know if it will last, but hopefully it will give him the boost over that hump he's been on since the end of summer. They were so conf that he was low that they actually gave him his nplate before the counts came back, lol. So he should have a good count for Monday, lol. IVIG! It never gets him higher than 60k and only for a few days! I told him it must have been a good batch.

In case there was any question how long it takes Tim's platelets to drop? He came down to 72k in one week. That's my boy, lol. At least he's still safe for now. Maybe he'll level out here? One can hope.
