  Just sent a little prayer that he gets the OK to do this thing he so enjoys. That is what makes life so much more enjoyable.

  You may wish to clarify his RBC. If it is 1.02 he is not getting enough oxygen to his organs, particularly his heart. If his HGB is 10.2 his red cels are fairly low and could explain why he gets out of breath.
  If his RBC is really 1.02 what is his HGB?

  Was looking for his hemoglobin count.
  Was wondering if 10.2 was his HGB.
  Believe we are working with counts on 2 different scales. For example on the scale my doc uses:
  RBC normal is 4.5-5.4
  HGB normal is 13.5-18.0
  Sometimes there is some confusion between HGB and RBC.
  If you wish you can the following link to a great site on Blood Cells and the CBC:

  http://web2.airmail.net//uthman/blood_cells.html

  A great site that is in pretty reasonable language. I printed about 30 pages for reference.

  An HGB of 11.5 is not that bad. Lets hope it stays in that range.
  The first few months can be pretty difficult.
  If his doc approves a hunting trip and he is not too far from help —if he should need it he should be fine.
  I have had MDS for 10 1/2 years and still feel pretty good. Have my bad days, lots of good ones.

  I am very happy for you, and them. How wonderful! I have to ask though, how can you possibly use 2 moose? Isn’t that a lot of meat? Good eating to you!

  Hi Lost, I found your old post. I’d like to see if it will show up. I’m sorry to read that Pierre passed on. It was great that he was able to get that moose.I am praying for you and your family.May you find comfort in knowing that he is now at peace.
  God Bless, Ellie
