On Wednesdays, Jo gets to see Dr. Anderlini and today he asked her when was the last time her platelets were over 250,000. That is a question for which we do not know the answer, but it was over 6 years ago. I also know the last time her platelets were that high neither one of us knew what platelets were!
Why are Jo's counts so high? The majority of Jo's blood cells are being produced by Eddie's stem cells. The bone marrow test results we are waiting for are supposed to tell us roughly how much of Jo's blood is being produced by Eddie's cells vs. remnants of her own stem cells, but it's safe to say right now Eddie is in control.
