My Blood Count Today: - Readings in square bracket [] are result from previous test.
Red Blood Count (HB) = 149[148] (Normal 130-180)
Platelet = 166[171] (Normal 150-450)
White Blood Count (WBC) = 7.4[6.0] (Normal 4 - 11)
Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) = 3.63[3.18] (Normal 1.5 - 8.0)
ALT = 65[44] (Normal 30 – 65)
AST = 41[29] (Normal 15-37)
GGT = 74[48] (Normal 15-85)
I am fine today.
I go to UH to do my post bone marrow transplant follow-up today. The blood count result is normal. The doctor is reducing my Prednisolon dosage to one table (5mg) alternate day. Another breakthrough :-) My next follow-up is scheduled two months later.
Today’s lipid profile is as follow:
Total Cholesterol : 5.5[5.8] (< 5.2)Triglycerides : 1.5[2.1] (< 1.7)
HDL Cholesterol (good): 1.21[1.36] (> 1.0)
LDL Cholesterol (bad) : 3.61[3.49] (< 2.6)
Not much change compared to the result from the last follow-up two months ago. I have to work hard to lower the bad cholesterol.
I also went to visit two friends in the hematology ward – Mr. Lim and Mr. Teh.
Mr. Lim did his bone marrow transplant done on the 15 April. He is now in the isolated room no. 1 (VIP room) to wait for stem cells engraftment. He is doing well.
Mr. Teh is having lung infection and his bone marrow is still unable to produce blood. He had been staying in the hematology ward for more than 2 months :-(
Let us pray for both of them to be cured from their respective diseases completely.
See you next post :-)
