Cells - Apparently you need them

Hi Everyone -

I had an unexpected hospital stay yesterday due to my cell counts being very low, especially my red cells and my platelets.  They gave me a transfusion of both during my stay, so hopefully that resolves the issue.  We'll find out tomorrow as I'm scheduled to have labs done to determine if the transfusion provided enough of a boost.

One issue with having treatment at a children's hospital is the bed I was using for the transfusion was designed for a child.  Not a major issue as for the most part I was sitting or standing, but it did make me feel taller than normal. 

Until next time,
Alex
