I know you think this is a picture of a Buddha statue on the left and Annie on the right but it's an old picture and now Annie actually looks more like the statue than the girl. And that's thanks to prednisone. All the munching and puffing has temporarily physically changed Annie and all the recent experiences continue to mature her emotionally.
Today's blood test showed another drop in counts. Hemoglobin down to 5.8, ANC to 400 and platelets to 45,000 however that number is due to her platelet transfusion on Friday. Thus she has a red blood cell transfusion scheduled for Thursday.
While all this sounds unpleasant to us, she retains a joyful attitude and is genuinely happy in spite of it all. Will report in after her blood test/transfusion Thursday.
I hate prednisone even though it helped me with a bad lung infection this past winter. A friends wife was on it for a long time it completely change her appearance..
