LDH down

Dr. Mach (Primary Children's E. Coli & kidney specialist) came in just a few moments ago and gave us a little bit of good news. She said that Halley's LDH levels are down to 4000 from yesterdays 6000 (LDH is the enzyme that is released when the red blood cells break down). We need them down to 700 before she can leave. They also need two stool samples to come back negative for the E. Coli cultures before she can be dismissed.
She will be doing dialysis again early in the afternoon. They will be doing the blood transfusion during the dialysis. That way they can clean the blood and introduce the new red blood cells she needs simultaneously.
Halley's blood pressure is still at a very healthy level. Most children that do come in with HUS have very high blood pressure. We are very fortunate that hers have remained so low.
Halley has been a little more sleepy lately due to her low red blood cell count. The dialysis and transfusion should perk her back up.
Thank you everyone for all of your love and support.
