Friday 9:30 p.m.

Platelets holding strong at 9,000. We have now been without transfusion since Monday afternoon. After talking with our new attending physician, Dr. Rice, we will plan for discharge on Sunday inshaAllah (God willing). We will be sent home with the tunneled IV line, and have been thoroughly instructed on how to care for it. As long as baby's platelets don't fall further, all the remaining testing etc. can be done through the outpatient clinic.
