Agonizingly Slow Process
Dr. Cummings says we are making slow but steady progress, with all the numbers moving in the proper direction except for the white count (which is up from 18.4 to 21.9).
We will wait until Tuesday morning to get the bloodwork results and the white count, then determine when then the next CT scan will be performed.
Good news -- Dr. Cummings said he would not classify her bedsores as "decubitus" but rather more as a surface sore, like a "strawberry". He indicated they are not as deep as previously feared.
Today they are slowly cutting back the sedation. She is very drowsy but will smile occasionally. Each smile goes a long way for us.
As always, thanks for your continued love and support.
