8.4

That’s Irene’s red blood cell count.  It should be 12+. 

She’s been on high levels of Epogen, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epogen for weeks.  They increased the dosage today and she’ll probably have a blood transfusion next Wednesday if the numbers don’t trend upward.  The lower red blood cell count has a HUGE impact on her energy level.

The nausea is RAGING following dialysis treatment today.

Thanks for caring,
Dave
