Day 3

It is day 3 of my treatment and the final day of my plasmapheresis treatment, I am happy because I can finally get my Quintin Catheter removed. One thing that doesn't make me happy is that my platelet count is low, so I have to get 2 units (2 bags) of blood, which will go over 3 hours each, so a total of 6 hours. I'm feeling OK and today can hopefully go out of the room and go in my wheelchair around the floor soon. I've still had some pain, stiffness, and swelling, but the morphine helps with pain. Tomorrow I start IVIG, at least its at a lower dose than what I usually get so I hopefully wont get so sick. I know that with God's help I can get through this. 


Joyful Love

Blessings In The Lord
