The doctors decided to make my plasmapheresis treatment everyday now because I am an adult. Typically with kids they want to do it every other day so that their blood gets a little balanced out. I was escorted up to the 11th floor around 9:30am to get my second dose of treatment. This time it only took ~90 minutes. I felt my lips tingle a bit after the nurse snapped off the tubes that hooked me up to the machine. I think I had that yesterday too but I didn't think it was anything because the tingling went away after I bit my lip. It just means that I'm lacking calcium. Darn, I didn't order milk today. Oh well, at least I had yogurt for breakfast.
I overheard the nurse tell my floor nurse that they'll have to look at my labs extra careful tomorrow because something in my blood went from 200-something to 150-something. She said they can't give me my last treatment tomorrow if that count goes below 100.
