Wednesday morn

Well, your platelets have stablized and are in the low range of normal, so you will be sedated around 10:30 and immediately have your lumbar puncture (nice words for spinal tap). Your white blood cell count has also improved but not significantly (well, low range of normal is 1000 and yours was 180 on Sunday and 540 on Tuesday so it's good but not where they want to see you just yet). Your rash is completely gone this morning. We think it was just a little side effect of the first antibiotics you were on. We'll take all the good news we can get, eh.
