Cindy continues to improve – lots of baby-steps, but she’s going in the right direction.  The doctors came up with a decision on what to do about Cindy’s low platelet count (see yesterday’s post).  They’ve decided to give Cindy a medication that “attacks” her red blood cells instead of the platelets.  The downside of this procedure would be that Cindy becomes anemic which is less of a problem than her blood not clotting.
