More blood work yesterday......

Rick had his blood tested while at Dana Farber yesterday getting his monthly antibiotic infusion. His platelets are only up by 1,000 to 68,000. Very discouraging as my fear is the numbers are just not going up fast enough to catch this thing. Neurosurgeon at Children’s was very impressed with Rick’s recovery from surgery, but also said he would need a “compelling reason” to consider operating again. The MRI has been moved to Thursday and will be very telling as to what happens next.
