September Blood Counts

I keep forgetting to update here... usually I do things through FaceBook..
So, Jasper had bloods done again just the other day. We didn't need to see the doctors this time, that will happen next time.
I only get height and weight when we see the docs, so for today, we just have blood numbers.

  • in brackets is the "normal" range.
  • the first number is what he was 3 months ago
  • the second number is from yesterday.
White Cells (4.5-14.5)         4.50       4.70
Haemoglobin (115-155)      131          124
Platelets (150-400)              110           119
Red Cells (4.00-6.00)         3.72          3.47
MCV (75-92)                           105           104
Neutrophils (1.5 - 8.0)        1.24          1.98

So, all in all, there is no change to speak of. No change is a good thing! It means no significant drop.

Jasper also has another splint to wear at night... he has flat refused so far, but the surgeon from his  thumb surgery is not happy that the thumb appears to be slipping back. The splint is for 6 months to see how it goes.. 

There is nothing else (medically) to report!

Thanks for reading
