Annie had another positive appointment yesterday. All blood counts are normal except for her hemoglobin and that went up from 10.0 to 10.6. Normal for that will begin at 12.2. Her kidney functions have all stayed normal so now we don't need to see the nephrologist any more. Her visits have been extended to every three weeks and she can get a flu shot. The rest of her immunizations are scheduled for November. This is an exciting procedure were a group of nurses surround her and all stick her at once. She has done it once before and it does seem to be the way to go although it looks absurd. Annie also gained a pound which is much needed. She has a full plate of activities and goes merrily through her day which has helped build back her appetite. We feel like a family of wood-peckers because we "knock on wood" all day long for the miracle of each normal day she gets. Update in three weeks.
That is fantastic!! Love too hear good news!
ReplyDeleteMelissa,
ReplyDeleteIsabella, Olivia and I just visited this blog for the first time in a long while. So glad to hear good news. Please give our love to Annie, and tell her we think of her often, and still love to use our favorite 'Annie quote' of "Yes, boss!" (from a funny improv scene she did one time)!
