Well, I'm sure he's bottomed out again. He's got petechiae from laying on his arm, and blood blisters in his mouth, and has a very mild nose bleed yesterday. Not sure what they will decide tomorrow, except that they will probably up the NPlate does.

Also, why don't I get email notification anymore from this list. I like that option cause it helps to not have to wade through the list every time.

Oh, Donna. I'm so sorry. Thinking of you guys.

As for the email notification -- when you reply, look at the box that says "subscribe." There's a box to check if you want to be notified when there's a response. It should work once you check it. You need to do it for each topic you're following.

I'm sorry he is having so many bleeding symptoms. They might need to use either IVIG or prednisone to keep him from bleeding until his count is at a safe level. Caitlin increased her dose each week until she was at .3 mcg then stayed there for a couple of weeks. Same with .04. .05 kept her stable for a long time as well as .06 but then .07 didn't work at all which was the max dose for her weight.
