Monday - Update

So, you know those stories on the news where the parent leaves the child alone for a very brief period of time and tragedy insues......

We had our own mild version of that last night. It was about 11pm. I left Trish alone in the bedroom, went down the hall to brush my teeth, and heard a loud boom.

I ran back to the bedroom to find Trish on the floor. She had fallen and hit her head on the HEPA filter I had bought to keep her air clean. She felt fine, didn't pass out and was more embarrassed than anything else. She did have a small cut above her eye. The first thing she told me was not to call the hospital, she was fine. I told her we had to compress the cut and if it didn't stop bleeding in 10 minutes we would have to call and go in. Saturday when we were in IPOP her platlets levels were low and I wasn't optimistic the bleeding would stop. It did stop. We weren't sure if or where Aunt Mary had bandaids, so I took some surgcal tape and a couple of tissues and made my own bandaid. Trish was happy she could go to bed.

This morning, after taking a shower her wound began to bleed again. He bandaged it up again and headed in to the hospital early this morning. They took a CT and have loaded her up with two bags of platlets. Her platlet count was down to '6' this morning. Very low for someone with a cut. We haven't heard anything back on the CT yet. Trish's eye is black and blue. She is in good spirits and feeling as good as she can.

I am worn out.
