Emily is very pleased with the state of milly's pad. There is no pus or inflammation, but I've to keep up with the daily hibiscrub and manuka honey dressings for another 7 days. Her weight is up from 4.350 to 4.485, so that's a positive sign. I'll be happier when she's back to her post op weight of 4.9-5.00 though
HOWEVER....................................................................
Her blood tests have been a bit alarming(to me anyway, although Emily went through it all and explained as far as she could what the numbers meant) She is very anaemic:
White Cell count 2.6
Haemoglobin 8.5
Red cell count 3.94
Platelets 20
There is, however, evidence of red cell regeneration.
Her Albumin, Creatin and Calcium levels are high at 40, 220, and 4.10 respectively.
Emily says that much of those figures can be explained by the presence of bacterial infection, which Milly has( abcess).
I'd love some thoughts about these figures.Jane, Liz..anyone? I can give you a further breakdown of the findings if you want, but didn't want to bore everyone with all the numbers! On a positive note, she tested negative for EC
I'll be taking her back next week for a weigh-in, and intend to have the blood tests redone in about 4-6 weeks time.
