6th July 2010 24+4wks 10.6lb
Back to see Dr Salma today. Her weight gain is about 4oz per wk now, so much beet than it was but Dr Salma felt that it still wasn't good enough.
She said she looked pale, and had quite marked stiffness of her lower limbs (just looking for problems if you ask me!) and she had a central hypotonia.( hypotonia means decreased muscle tone)
The blood result came back later that day and showed that her HB was now down at 6.9' a wk post transfusion it was 10.7.
Plan:
Refer to physiotherapy
Review in 6 wks
Refer to a haematologist
Todays blood test showed that her retic count was 18 , this count should go up when you are short of blood, so in theory Reagans should be high to try and make more than the normal amount of blood but hers wAs normal.
