Down This Road

We talked with our nurse at the clinic around 10am and after talking through what Geli looks like, is feeling like and acting like – the decision was made to go into the clinic, run a CBC (Complete Blood Count) and a few other blood tests.

Based on the results of those tests we should know a bit more about what we are dealing with.

It could be that the elevated temperature, dizziness, the pressure in her chest, the tiredness…..they could all be symptoms of low red blood or……they could also be an infection.

Jon and Geli are at the hospital right now and she’s had her blood drawn so at this point we are just waiting for the results of her blood draws to come back.

I HATE waiting. Unless her red blood cells are amazing, she’ll probably get red blood today which combined with her almost non-existent White Blood Count could mean a fever and admission.

I’m trying to resign myself that they are there for sure until the weekend. And that sucks!

  1. well… we are in the clinic and got the magic numbers… she is getting red cells, platelets, and… admitted. She spiked a fever while we were waiting and that means a minimum of 48 hours. More info to come…
