6 Days In...

Not much change since yesterday. Kate's still a little fireball, she can't stand to stay still or in one place. No matter where we are, unless there are kids to play with, I can pretty much set the timer for 5 minutes and I'll here "walk, walk, walk!" She cannot stand hanging in one place, especially our room! Her hemoglobin levels are still steady. A blood transfusion lasts a few weeks, so the fact that it is steady doesn't necessarily mean that her body is creating it's own, but we're hoping that is a possibility. We won't know whether it's only the transfused cells or if her body is helping out as well for a couple weeks. Her platelates dropped 30,000 over the last 24 hours. That isn't as bad as the day before, but it's still a lot. She's not at the point where she needs another transfusion yet. They just keep running labs & doing tests. They are IV injecting Immune globulin. Apparently one of her antibody levels was low, not dangerously, but they want to up it with the IVIG to see if it makes a difference in her health. Today, Dr. Schiff, said that her case is "just wierd". She said it's strange the way everything is happening inside her. Most the time they don't see 2/3 (red blood cells, white blood cells, platelates) depleting or dangerously low. Usually it is either one or all. Todd is doing more research on the IVIG. Thank you to everyone who has come to visit & show their love & support. It is much appreciated! Also, thank you for the prayers!
