Day 11
We just received the final blood tests from this morning. Her red blood cell count is holding steady in the low 30's. It could take weeks or months before her count gets back up in the 40's. Everything else is looking great.
The doctor said there is minimal risk of future complications with her kidneys. Approx. 10% of children that get HUS can develop high blood pressure later in life. Overall the doctors and nurses said that she had a pretty mild case of HUS.
The specialists that put Halley's catheter in her neck were not available to take it out so one of the nurses pulled it out this morning. They did not use any anesthesia and apparently it was a little bit traumatic for Halley and Celeste.
Regardless, we are done and are now blowing this taco stand!
We'll see you back in the good 'ole Mountain of Green - Joe
