blood work results

Well it's been a few days but earlier this week we found out that the blood results came back fine. The cbc showed no anemia, platelet count good, but the white blood cells are elevated to the level of a viral infection. They also checked her thyroid because radiation can affect that but the next day the results showed up fine for thyroid. So Ellie has been slowly perking up to her usual self. It seems as though it was just a viral infection she was fighting off.

Then two days ago we noticed her eye was bright red again and it looks like there is another infection in her eye just in a different part. So we are back on antibiotic eye drops and have a call into the eye doctor because today she is complaining about throbbing pain above her right eye. We'll see how all this turns out.

Seems like lately if it's not one thing it's another. Please be in prayer that she can get healed and we can have a calm rest of the month before we go back to Iowa City on the 28th for her first post surgery/radiation MRI. Thank you all. We'll keep you posted.
