OldTrucker Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Her platelet number was at 73 which is still quite low but was up from the night before so they released her with blood counts to be done every few days. Friday her count was up to 91 so it seems that she is slowly adjusting to the new valve they implanted. Next blood test is tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldTrucker Posted July 6, 2020 Author Share Posted July 6, 2020 The improvements since the valve procedure are stunning! Never realized how poor her coloring had become over time, she actually has ankles now! Haven't seen her legs this small in YEARS! She can actually walk the length of the house without being out of breath! She walked out and back to see our son's garden Saturday and wasn't short of breath! Appears COPD wasn't the main cause of her breathing issues it was her heart! Can't wait to see how things improve after she starts cardiac rehab in a week or so!!!
