Thanks I saw the blood work from hospital. It says 2 places for her to get blood transfusion. The blood work shows that her connective tissue problems might have turned into lupus. Of course it shows really severe anemia.

The dr. did ekg in office amd it just shows high pulse. Thank God. She is getting this blood work done tomorrow. Her dr. is really mad at the hospital.

The blood work shows the anemia and low vit.B levels and somethings else that the receptionist couldnt pronounce.

She is getting high potency vitamins and will need bloodwork done again in a month.

I appreciate all the prayers you have give me.

Sincerely,

Lori

We are going to have to take her to a hematoligist. Bloodwork is really screwy. It appears she has a blood disorder. She need to see a rheumatoligist also. She feels better than before but wears out fast. Her iron level is extremely low.

We saw the hematologist yessterday. The dr. was excellent . He was very thorough. He said she was probably slightly anemic even before this blood loss.She probably is going to need an iron fusion. He is concerned about some other blood test results so ordered more blood tests to try to get to the bottom of it. He doesnt think it will be leukemia like it usually indicates.

Today when she went to get blood tests done. The lab wasnt able to get blood out. I think that is weird. Hopefully on friday there wont be a problem.

Thanks to all who prayed. It is a long process to get her back where she should be.
