WISH I KNEW WHAT'S GOING ON

 

Thank you everyone, for keeping me company through this.       

I am going to go visit Bootsie today, and thought I would bring some
food in a tupperware and spoonfeed it to her. Thought also that I may
stay awhile, so will bring some crocheting or knitting for when she's
sleeping.                  

Bootsie:

I spoke with the vet this morning.....this is all so very confusing!
Here's the latest:

* Bootsie is "doing ok"

* Boots ate some food this morning. I asked the vet if she ate enough
to make him happy, and he said "yes".

* Another CBC was done this morning which showed that Bootsie's white
blood cell count has gone up again, and is at 46,000.

* Bootsie's red blood cell count has went down some (I wasn't told
how much, and didn't ask). The vet said that it's possible that this
could be due to the fluids she is getting. Could also be something
else.

* The vet said that they are pretty sure that this in liver-involved.

When I asked the vet to throw some possible diagnosis at me, he said
that they are not sure what's wrong with Bootsie, but he is thinking
it could be one of these 3 possibilities:

1. LIVER DAMAGE AS A RESULT OF LONG TERM PHENO USE. (I have been
telling them ---as I told the doc this morning-- I want Bootsie OFF
this stuff immediately.....she has not had a seizure in a very long
time....I will say it again next time we talk and find out how they
will go about this....from what I know, they are still giving her
pheno in her iv, and I don't like that)...

2. BACTERIAL HEPATITIS

3. LIVER TUMOR (which is something that would not have shown up in
the blood test report from the pathologist. I guess cancer is still
within the realm of possibility).

If any of you can think of questions I should ask the vet, any ideas,
and websites that I would benefit from reading, please, please let me
know because with so much flying around my mind I am having a devil
of a time researching, which I'm normally pretty good at.

Thank you, please don't stop praying for my little girl, she's so
tough, and you can rest assured that she is fighting as best she can,
but prayers are so necessary with this!!
