Today was Ryan's doctor's appointment in Columbus. We were thinking he may have to have a bone marrow biopsy, but they are not doing that until next week. We have been visiting the clinic there 2 times a week, but the doctor told him that since he was doing well that he didn't have to come on Friday, he could just wait to come back next Tuesday. Ryan's white blood cell count was 9.5; hemoglobin was up today as well - 11.7; his platelet count was down again today, but not a lot. It was 109. Even though Ryan has been taking magnesium pills since last Friday, his magnesium was still low today. It has been about 1.0 the last few visits, it was up a little today, 1.2, but they want it to be at least 1.5 before they don't have to give him any IV. We're hoping that by next Tuesday he won't have to get any. The nurses were joking this morning that they had a lottery going about how much magnesium he would have to get. :)
That's about all we did today, a trip to Columbus takes pretty much all the time we have in one day and I have to go back to work tomorrow, so we had to put Aubrey to bed a little earlier so I could get to bed a little earlier tonight.
