4 weeks since last blood test was created by Brandi
Ryan was given 4 weeks off after his last count of 37,000. So we went on Halloween (was delayed a few days thanks to the "Frankenstorm" that ripped through here) and they are holding steady at 38,000! So we get another 4 weeks off from blood work to see where we are then.

Last treatment of ivig was July 19th!

Great news, that's almost a 50% increase. Hope is out of ITP in the next month or two at this rate.

We were given a 4 week wait as well, still 2 more weeks to go :-)
