Back to hospital

Its all a bit hazy here but this is the gist.

Dr Salam decided that actually when she was her she was really quite worried about her. She had tried to get her adapt with a haematologist at Frimley but the next one was nearly a month away which was to long for here to wait.

So she wanted her in hospital for observation and to check for a few other things in her blood, so a FBC, she wanted to check her retic count again and also thee was. Coup,e of viruses that she thought could be the problem. She also wanted to see what her iron, vit B12 and colic acid levels were, all of which are needed to make blood.

What we knew now was that giving her a transfusion didn't fix her, for some reason she was still anaemic.

Blood test from today showed that her HB had dropped to 5.9 so they were going to transfuse but this time the plan was to take her right up to 12 rather than just 10.4 like last time. It also showed that her iron, vit B12 and folic acid levels were all good so she wS getting all she needed in her diet and it was getting absorbed as it should but something was going wrong still!!
Her retic count was still normal, so still not stepping up to the mark!!

You have 3 types of blood cells, red ones to carry oxygen round your body, white ones to fight infection and platelets to clot your blood to stop you bleeding when you cut yourself.
Her white cell count (wcc) was normal, he platelets was a little high, but her red was low.

She received 60mls of blood and needs to go back on Wed for another 60mls.
