Not much change here.  Still trying to stay on top of the disappearing platelets.  They are now treating him for an antibody he may have that is fighting off the platelets.

His nose is not outright bleeding but a constant slow trickle.  He can't blow his nose as that aggravates the bleeding.  They want clotting.  Clots are uncomfortable and he can't breathe through his nose.  For now he is sniffling.

While wandering, I always see dogs, big and small, on walks with their owners.  And it is kind of sad that many of these dogs don't know what it's like to go for a good run or a long walk on grassy terrain.  There is so little grass in the city.  But most of these dogs are loved and they return that love.  They have their purpose.  I am always grateful that I live somewhere where the dogs can run and there are so many spaces without concrete.

There are still some flowers.
