Great News!

Annie had another sonogram this week to check on the blood clot in her arm. Last month's sonogram had showed no change, but this week the sonogram showed that the clot is "resolved or nearly resolved" so she no longer needs her twice daily shots of Lovenox! We are rather surprised to have it resolve so quickly, but feel so relieved! That arm has been cleared for vascular access now, which is a huge blessing!

Because Annie's platelet levels haven't been stable over the past several months, they will continue to monitor that. She'll have more blood work done just before Christmas, so we'll see what her level is and go from there. If her platelets are too high, she will be more prone to additional clots, so they are going to keep a close eye on her lab values over the next while.

With no more injections, her thighs will also be able to heal from the abscess and hematomas that she's developed from the injections. We are so grateful for good news this week! Now if she can only get over her cold...
