$20,000 Reward!!
Missing: 45,000 Platelets! I believe they've been KIDNAPPED!
They were last seen a week ago floating around in Shelbie's bloodstream
They look like Octopus and answer to the name of Platelet.
I suspect they have been hijacked by a guy who goes by the name of Immune Sy Stem.
Please call if you find them. We really miss them and would love to have them back in our tender care.
You can call us at 1-800-FIND MY PLATELETS
There is a $20,000 reward because that is what it is going to cost me to replace them. Here is a picture of her missing platelets. You can tell they are hers because they are so little and cute and like she is. Seriously, can't you see the resemblance? Oh, and they stick together!

Okay, all joking aside, so long to Normal! It's not like I'm joking but making light of something serious helps my frayed emotional brakes from going on a crying spree that may never end.
For over a year, we have enjoyed a normal platelet count in Shelbie. Today, we were thrust into the not so normal arena. While at a check up to make sure the Iron transfusions worked, we discovered that her platelet count has plummeted 45,000 in just 7 days!! Ugh! We are now at 135,000. We are not in danger yet but this is an ugly trend and far enough below normal to make me squirm. Her numbers that indicate platelet destruction are way high so the odds of the platelets falling fast are pretty good. Sad. So sad. Wasn't expecting this and not ready to face what may come in the near future. Hopefully, IVIG will keep her limping along before we have no choice but to do another round of chemotherapy.
Oh well, such is life in the fast lane, where things change by the hour. Still keepin the faith, not defeated, not today.

Below is a picture of the guy we think kidnapped them, Immune Sy Stem! He is red with anger and I believe it's an inside job. You may however, see him floating around. He has a lot of body guards who are generally tall and thin, a little green around the gills. He may look innocent enough but he is armed and dangerous!! Be very careful!!
