D+57
Had my eleventh outpatient visit to the hospital for eval and Pentamidine Treatment...
WBC's were at 5.8 this morning (4.2-9.1 k/uL is Normal Range)....
ANC were 4.4 K/uL today Normal Range is 1.8-9.0 K/uL...
HGB's up slightly to 11.7 and PLT's down slightly to 104...
Red Blood Cell (RBC) Count was up to 3.81 M/mcL (4.2-5.6 M/mcL is Normal Range)
Creatinine was relatively unchanged at 1.3, Potassium 3.8 and sodium at 141...
ALT-Alanine aminotransferase down slightly to 50 Units/L (Normal Range is 5-37 Units/L) and determines Liver distress...
Doctor says we will monitor ALT, as it tends to get higher do to differing medications; she thinks the anti-fungal Noxafil might be triggering it, but still way too low to discontinue...
Appointments now down to every 2 weeks, January 10th, 2014...
Checked out of Hope Lodge this Friday, sad to leave, made going to appointments very convenient...
Wishing everyone here Happy and Healthier New Year!!!
