1st set of results

Wed 8th Sept 2010

I took her dressing off today, it had to stay on for 48hrs. There is no bruising just a hole, it's about the size of a little drinking straw. Ouch!

I spoke to Dr Pilidis to get the results of the bone marrow. They were looking for precursers which basically is the cells that make the blood cells.
Her precursors for her white blood cells and platelets was fine but the red ones were very tiny and there were only a few.

Now it could be that she is coming to the end of a virus (parvovirus) or it could be the way it's always been. So it doesn't give a great deal on it's own but along with other results we should get a better picture.

She asked how Reagan was and I said we felt she was a bit pale and maybe a little more sleepy than usual so she said to maybe getherblood tested next wk.

She's still waiting for the results from the bone (they want to look at the architecture of it) and the blood that was sent to Portugal.
