Lab Results

For anyone out there who is interested in the nitty gritty detail. We have some lab results to share with you. These results are from yesterday's blood work, and they are what prompted the transfusion last night.

Everything in red is low
Everything in orange is high

WBC=0.46 (NORM=5.5-15.5)
RBC=1.89 (NORM=3.9-5.3)
HGB=6.2 (NORM=11.5-13.5)
HCT=17.8 (NORM=34-40)
MCV=94 (NORM=75-87)
MCH=32.9
MCHC=34.29
PLT=64 (NORM=156-312)
RDW-CV=17.2
Absolute Neutrophil Count=200

I should do some more research, but for now all I know is that the WBC is her white blood cell count, the RBC is her red blood cell count, and the HGB is her hemoglobin count.

Hey... I just wanted to let you guys know that I check this blog at least once a day. I am thinking of you all, always. Remember: In the city that sleeps (Burlington), I often do not! If you ever need anything, anytime, that you think I can help with, please don't hesitate to call my cell.
