WBC = < 0.1
HGB = 7.3
PLT = 7 (transfused 6am Monday; new count in process)

Having received a bag of platelets already today, we are expecting a new Platelets number above the 10 threshold, and perhaps of about 14 from the complete blood count CBC that was taken at the end of the transfusion.

Update: My new platelet count (after this moring's transfusion, described above) was 12, about the doubling thatt we expected.  It is funny to think that the bag they transfused from had about as many platelets as my whole body had had.
