Oh, how I wish I was telling you that the car is loaded, and we're ready to go. But that's not to be right now. Torie's counts have dropped again. Since Monday, Platelets have dropped from 198 to 170, WBC's from 5.5 to 5.0, and hemoglobin down to 10.9 from 11.8. That's almost a gram in 3 days. And it's 2 grams less than 10 days ago. Aaaarrgh! We are increasing her steroid dose; Sunday she got 20mg, and on Tuesday we dropped it to 15mg. Dr. Orchard feels that her Hemolytic Anemia/Evans Syndrome just doesn't like lower steroids. The new plan is to increase her steroid dose back to 20mg and check labs on Monday. Mys-Torie.
We are so disappointed, and so is Lexie. We want our family back in the same state! But we'll take one day at a time like we've been doing until we get Vic-Torie!
Well let's see what Monday brings. Positive and happy thoughts along with prayers that the increased steroids do the trick.
ReplyDeleteSo little Torie, maybe a few more days in Minnesota then you all head home. We miss all of you very,very much! Vic-Torie!!
