Reporting

Well, Terry has had a not-so-good week. He has been achy and icky! Such silly words, but they seem to fit. I know something of the ache because last week I was aching, but Terry has the aching like what I had and the aching from the shot and he has a cold and sinus problem on top of that. Some of the days have been pretty rough on him. We are hoping it doesn't last too much longer.

Today's labs:
WBC = 2.7(L)
RBC = 3.48(L)
Platelets = 45(L)
Neutrophils = 1.6(L)

ALT = 64(H) normal range 17-63
AST = 84(H) normal range 15-41
This is two weeks in a row that they have kept under 99. Strange that we are happy with those numbers, but they are good numbers compared to others. Our report shows the numbers for August 22nd and they were ALT 135 and AST 129. We hope they stay low and someday maybe they'll even be normal.

Actually, most of the numbers are a little better than last week, which is probably small consolation when you are feeling so crummy. Hope each day gets better and better.

Feel better soon--let's hope the sinus and aches now just mean you don't have to have your turn with them over the winter!
