Labs

Some of you who are on facebook already know this, but Keyan’s lab work from today did not come back looking good.  The doctors order labs every Monday and Thursday just to make sure she is getting the proper TPN and so that they can tweak the recipe if need be.  Today, her potassium was low as well as her white blood cells.  The could mean that she has an infection brewing.  It usually means she will be sick within 48 hours.  The biggest problem is that we have appointments on Thursday in Cincinnati.  We have been trying to get there for three years and she has been sick every time.  This time it is absolutely critical that we get there, and get there NOW!  We have gone thru all sorts of scenarios…playing out all different angles of the situation, and for now, we are just hanging tight, hoping that she doesn’t spike a fever.  Please pray that we make it down there and that it goes smoothly.  We are planning on leaving Wednesday morning and we need to stick to that plan.  The doctors are making some changes in her TPN and hopefully that helps stabilize her.I will update as things progress!
