I wanted to give everyone an update…Good news.  My blood is up to 11.9!  One more shot next week should do it.  They changed my medicine this week because they didn’t think the other one was keeping my blood up enough…since last week I went from 10.8 to 10.9.  However, they took my blood before the shot this week so the new medicine had nothing to do with the gain.  I am excited that it is about back to normal.  She said that all the other parts of my blood look great…all in normal range and strong.  Whew…I am flying high today.
