My Blood Count Today: - Readings in square bracket [] are result from previous test.
Red Blood Count (HB) = 12.3[12.1] (Normal 130-180)
Platelet = 131[108] (Normal 150-450)
White Blood Count (WBC) = 4.5[4.5] (Normal 4 - 11)
Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) = 1.98[2.115] (Normal 1.5 - 8.0)
ALT = 71[65] (Normal 30 – 65)
AST = 57[52] (Normal 15-37)
ALP = 134[173] (Normal 15-85)
I am fine today.
The blood test result is quite consistent with those readings found on Wednesday test result. This confirms that all my blood count readings indeed drop drastically and there was no mistake in handling my blood sample. However, one significant improvement observed today is that the platelet count rebounded from 108 to 131.
I am very well now - feeling like a normal healthy person. Cough is further reduced though there is still some wheezing sound from the chest. Since I can eat and drink as normal, doctor stopped the iv drip. This makes me a free man as my hand is no longer hooked to the normal saline pack. However, I still need to receive iv antiobiotics 5 times a day.
Doctor insisted that I should complete 7 days course of Azithromycin. So the earliest date that I can be discharged is next Monday.
Never mind, I have computer and classical guitar with me :-)
See you next post :-)
