Lucky 48

Trenton's platelet count is at 48,000 today!! That is the highest it's been since all this junk started. When the doctor was reading the results, Tyler and I both had to ask him to repeat it. We are super excited to say the least.

We met with a hematology fellow first, who was super cool, and we kind of did a rundown of everything. Then we talked about our options (which are somewhat different from what the previous doc gave us). But after we got the results, we are definitely going to hold off on doing anything until we see if Trenton's little body will just continue to work this out on its own. But, it's still nice to know we have options!

We talked to the actual doctor later, Chris (NOT Dr. something, he thinks that's dumb). He was also very nice and walked us through what the other treatments are, but again, won't do anything unless his counts go back down.

So now we'll just get his blood checked in 2 weeks to see what it's doing, and decide what to do from here. Hopefully it's just celebrate!
