		<description><![CDATA[I just wanted to give all of you a heads-up on Ana&#8217;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, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[That&#8217;s the number of platelets floating around Ana&#8217;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&#8217;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 [...]]]></description>
