Friday AM numbers

Bilirubin only went down .1 from 11.4 to 11.3. I wonder if they are going to put her back under the phototherapy lights?

Platelets went down only 1 point to 41,000 from 42,000. I guess I should take solace that they didn't go down dramatically again like they did yesterday (drop of 12). I know that 30,000 was the number that they were going to give her another transfusion at, but I also know that her current donor platelets expire today. We'll have to wait and see.

I feel like we just aren't making any progress, you know? I'm going to call our pediatrician today to see if he can call a colleague of his from downtown (a hematologist) to check out Baby H and give us a second opinion on her condition, or at the very least assure us that we are on the right track with the treatment we are on.
