Today is Ana’s 30th birthday! The day didn’t go quite as smooth as she wanted for her birthday (leaving work later than desired, having to get a raincheck for dinner out thanks to David’s head-first, running swan dive off of a couch, etc.) but it’s looking up!
Here’s Mom and son after having enjoyed the birthday cake (made by [...]

Anniversary Saturday

I secured some tickets through Stubhub.com that will put us in the 5th row of Diamond Box seats behind the visitors dugout, complete with waitress service for when we [...]

Platelet Update
April 25th, 2008 · 4 Comments · General
I just wanted to give all of you a heads-up on Ana’s platelet counts. As most of you know, her counts were up to right around 300,000 after getting her spleen removed. They stayed this way for a couple weeks, but two weeks ago she dropped down to 64,000. Yikes, we were a little freaked out, [...]

Ana’s new PDA arrived today, the Asus A626, and it’s pretty darn cool. Now I want one, but I have to keep telling myself that I’m near a computer for the vast majority of my day so there’s just no need…damn!
Ana discovered that along with her new job at Memorial, she was spending a lot [...]

That’s the number of platelets floating around Ana’s body today. A marked improvement over her previous dismal countings of 7,000 and 10,000.
So that was the real, first post-spleen-removal test they’ve gotten counts from her on. Definitely a positive sign. More tests next week to keep verifying.
Thanks again to everyone for all of your help, prayers, [...]

It’s 2am and we just got back home. The surgeon that removed Ana’s spleen (and the one that had her go into the ER tonight – errr, last night) actually came in around 1:30 and talked with us and did a quick checkup. He said that the pain wasn’t due to the gas used in [...]
