Ah Jon is now doing his fortnightly blood test in Miri. His last test, done last Thursday, showed not much changes in his readings.
Haemoglobin: 102 g/L showed a slight drop by 1 point
RBC: 3.28 drop from 3.35 (should increase)
White blood count is now 3.7x10^9/L, a drop of 0.1 point which is not good.
ESR has gone up to 28 which is not good. This is an indication of infection.
Three siblings had gone for HLA typing to see whether they are suitable as bone marrow donor. So far, none has matched. So, only two eldest girls left!
If you were to ask him how he felt, he will tell you that everything is ok. Thanks God that he continue to take the drug without fail. Only concern is that he is not drinking enough water.
Today, he got a stack of mask. This is just a prevention as Curtin is full of smog and also the threat from H1N1.
I thank all friends who have been very concerned about him.
