Update

Just wanted to let everyone know how things are going. We came home and took a couple of days to just rest and get the bug out of our systems. When we left the hospital Dr. M told us that Katie didn't need a blood draw until Thursday (12/4) and that we could do it at our local lab instead of coming down there. That was great news. Yesterday we were having phone problems, so late in the afternoon when we hadn't heard about the lab results I called Dr. M. Things are mostly good. Her kidney function levels are still great and stable. But... she has white blood cells in her urine. I'm not sure whether that's still or again but regardless it's a concern. Dr. M wants to wait and see what the culture shows and see how Katie does between now and when we see her on Wednesday. If she starts to run a fever or shows symptoms of an infection that will change things. I also reported to her that Katie's blood pressure was a bit high when we took it yesterday. This didn't surprise any of us as we restarted her ADD medicine which has been known to cause a rise in her blood pressure. We will likely need to adjust her blood pressure medication. We're supposed to keep tracking it and we'll discuss that more on Wednesday also.

The good news is we don't have to have any labs drawn or go to the hospital again until Wednesday when we have the next Cytogam infusion.

All in all we're really doing great!
