Well, you have three people here telling you not to worry about the PLT.  As much as I like to go against the crowd, I just can't on this one.  Platelets bounce around like rubber balls.  It could be a virus.  It could just be his immune system is very young and they haven't leveled out, yet.  I'm almost five and a half years out and my PLT still aren't stable.

Hope this helps.

Sounds logical to me.  I mean the only thing that would cause bleeding and brusing, short of injury would be lowered PLT.  They would have to be much lower than Adam's presently are before that would occur.  Still, if he's got that medication thing going on along with the general insanity of PLT, yeah, that could well be an explanation.  I'd certainly ask the docs about it.

Have a great weekend with your daughter.  That sounds really great.

Thanks for the update, Marta.  Adam continues to be a superstar in the transplant world.  Hopefully, he will be able to ride this to the top and be over it all before terribly long.

Keep us informed.

Blessings

You know, Adam's given you as little reason to worry for the future as anyone I've ever seen.  Yes, there is always the possibility something can happen.  Still, he has done this like a champion.

Sure, you'll worry.  But I hope knowing he's a superstar is comforting to some degree.

Blessings

Marta, it definitely seems like Adam's on his way! Things have certainly gone well for him, I think he's a champ, too! What's the worst part now (besides the understandable worries for the future)? I think at this point, I was still batting a little bit of nausea now and again, and food still tasted awful to me, so getting enough to eat was a challenge, but otherwise things were good. I hope he keeps up the good work (I'm sure he will) and you've been a huge part of getting him this far. Keep us posted.

Hugs,

Pam
