Update #36. Day +10

Hb 120 (ref range: 115 - 165)
WBC 2.93 (ref range: 3.50 - 11.00)
PLT 20 (ref range: 150 - 450)
N 1.6 (ref range: 1.7 - 7.0)

Good numbers from Lauren's neutrophil (N) increase. We know the medical team are very happy to see these numbers coming through already. She's been feeling lousy today with a persistent bleeding nose. A platelet transfusion today hasn't solved it yet. Has kept her awake all day and she is now very tired, but finding it hard to sleep with the bleed. They've just 'packed' her nose which hopefully, will allow her some sleep now. Fevers are on & off through the day currently.

Caught up with the Borgas family from Adelaide who were in town for the weekend and joined them with Nathan & Kate for a ferry ride to Olympic Park and tour.
