For the last week, Amelia has been slowly going the wrong way. After our clinical appointment on Monday, she had a blood transfusion on Tuesday (we posted that). We expected her to get better, but she did not really bounce back like we though she should. We asked to have lab work on Thursday, and they did a follow up on Friday. She had slightly elevated kidney function again...we assume it was because she had slowed her eating and drinking again. We put an NG tube in and flush her with fluid and calories. Friday night, her heart rate was elevated, AGAIN (!!!) and even higher on Saturday night. She was also cranky and staying only on the couch Saturday. So, we checked in this morning.
Her lab work came back normal. Kidney function was better than even baseline. Her blood work was OK, not great, but OK. She is still low on her blood counts, but not super concerning. Her gums have been swollen and she has been in pain while trying to eat. We think this is what is causing her problems. We swabbed her mouth to test for some viruses. If she does have something, then our problem will be she is so immuno-suppressed that these viruses just wipe her out!!! For now, we are back in the hospital.
Our prayer is we can: figure out what is wrong, treat her pain (she seems to be in pain in her mouth), get her better.
Blessings
