Braxton had a late night which resulted in no port access but having a regular arm IV inserted instead. We turned off the light around 1 a.m. but then were up again by 1:40 when nurses came in to start a platelet transfusion because lab work revealed that platelet counts had fallen too. He was having alot of bleeding from his port site from low platelet counts so the transfusion will help. This morning's early labs showed Braxton's hemoglobin is down to 7 again, so he'll be getting another unit or 2 of blood soon. White cells are up to 400, so his cell recovery looks like it's starting. He usually perks up after getting blood so, hopefully we'll get to bring him home after not too munch time.
