Just taking time out...

Hello everyone...
   Yet again, its been a long while since I last blogged. I have been unwell on and off throughout this month. Unfortunately, due to this my platelets were dropping much quicker than they usually did. Usually, I have a platelet transfusion of around 600mls every eight days. During the period where my health was not so good, I needed platelet transfusions every four or five days. I am glad to say that my platelet count is slowly returning to normal as are the frequency of having transfusions. When I was unwell, my blood count dropped more often than expected and I had to have 6 hours worth of blood every three weeks or so rather than my usual 6 hours every two to three months. This was worrying for everybody but I am thrilled to say that I am much better though I still have some days where I don't feel so good. I tried to make it to school a couple of times and managed to make it there for a couple of hours on one day but on another had to come home after just an hour due to extreme tiredness. On that day, I slept through the whole of the day and the night. It just goes to show how different each day can be.
Hopefully, the rest of the month will be positive and healthy
Best wishes and Smiles
