Monday morning- fighting infections

We arrived for our 7:30 and started tests. The blood bank has been working on finding matching blood platelets for Deb.

Deb is very vulnerable!

White blood count. 0.02
Platelets. 1.0 (nurse said that is the lowest she has ever seen) Normal is 150-500

Potasium is also low
Crp has dropped slightly to 81.4. This is an indicator of infection.

We got another pill for our bag to fight another infection source. Guess we come home when pill bag outweighs Deb????

It was a very tough night with Deb crying out in pain every half hour or so. We could hardly make it here and had to use wheelchairs to motivate. Deb was a pitiful pup this morning.
