Carla's WBC was down to 0.07 K/uL. Over the past 24 hours it could have reached 0 and started up or it may be still dropping. The APN ordered giving daily growth hormone shots. She got her first one today. This growth shot will stimulate the production of white blood cells.
The platelets dropped too as they were at 59. Today was probably Carla's last day for Lovenox shots. The blood has so few platelets that the danger of her getting a blood clot is quite low.
Carla's immune system is quite weak. There is a respiratory infection going around the patients getting daily blood tests. Carla is wearing a mask most of the time she is in 7C.
Carla had a bad diarrhea case last night and she didn't get much rest. She started taking some medicine and hopefully she is over it.
