I'm assuming they would give her the new type by now.</p> <p>Taste buds do change, and she hasn't wanted to eat much bacon recently. But maybe it will come back!</p>tag:blog.limedaley.com,2018:/isso/762/32752024-02-21T22:45:49ZLinda Wightman<p>If the platelet transfusion was 4 or 5 days ago, i.e. after transfusion, is she now getting blood from donors of Faith's blood type, instead of her original type? I know about &quot;birth mothers,&quot; and these days I cringe every time some form wants to know my &quot;birth sex,&quot; but Grace now has a &quot;birth blood type&quot;!</p>tag:blog.limedaley.com,2018:/isso/762/32742024-02-21T22:14:53ZLinda Wightman<p>I wondered, to our choir, if I should suggest lemons, based on the experience of one of our members who could not tolerate any food that was not sour or bitter. The choir's universal response for Grace: Bacon!</p>tag:blog.limedaley.com,2018:/isso/762/32732024-02-21T16:50:10ZJon Daley<p>Red blood cell counts are affected as well, and they do monitor them. She did get a platelet transfusion 4 or 5 days ago. I think the red blood cells aren't quite as important because they can easily put those in if they need to. The white blood cell count (and more specifically neutrophils and monocytes and the ratio between the two) show if the bone marrow is doing its job and taking hold. They also live around three days, and I think red blood cells are longer lasting, though I'm not sure about that.</p>tag:blog.limedaley.com,2018:/isso/762/32722024-02-21T14:53:35ZChris S<p>Wonderful to read &quot;Grace had a great day today&quot; and the rest of the post that followed.

Are red blood cells not affected by the transplant?</p>tag:blog.limedaley.com,2018:/isso/762/32692024-02-21T02:33:47ZKathy Lewis<p>Wonderful!</p>
