Day + 53

We are still here trucking right along. We had clinic yesterday for counts and metabolic panel. Counts looked great! WBC were 8.0, ANC 4.8, platelets 36 and HGB 10.3. Her platelets are doing pretty good as she has not had a platelet transfusion in about two to two and half weeks. Her creatinine creeped up a bit to 1.30 it had been running in the normal range, but I think she kinda got a little dry. For some reason her IV TPN didn't run all night long, plus she had her lasix, that morning before clinic. So at clinic they ended up giving her some fluids and then we had to go in today to just check the creatinine and it was down to 1.00, which was better and we are hoping that by the time we go back on Thursday it will be back in the normal range!
We are still trying all kinds of things to see what we can get her to eat! She has been eating egg salad and vanilla Ice cream just a little of both though but at least it is a start!
She is still having a blood clot here and there some big some are small. They are really painful. The urine color looks much better, it was actually yellow! Never in my life did I ever think I would be praying for yellow pee!!! Not just once but twice!! The things you celebrate here in the transplant world!! We have the day off tomorrow from clinic and we will retun to clinic on Thursday, we will see Dr Wagner.

Please continue to pray for Amelia and her bladder and that these clots stop coming and that the bladder heals and that her eating gets better and better and last but not least that she remain fever free!!
Blessings,
~Kelly

hopefully soon I will get some pictures and get to put them up on here!

I am glad you had a decent day in clinic and that with fluids the creatinine is returning to normal. Way to go super cells with those awesome counts!! You are in my prayers that your appetite improves and you start to really enjoy eating a vareity of foods again. I am also praying hard that there will be no more blood clots and that your bladder heals completely. And as I pray I will do the no fever dance!!
Here's to more simple clinic days, no complications, and feeling better and better!
