So Ben and I said thank you and got the heck out of there before anyone changed their mind.
Dr. Altman checked Ben over from head to toe. She did labs on him and said that his white blood cell count was a little low but everything else looked great. His kidneys are working well and his inflammatory markers have improved. He is no longer anemic and his platelet count is fine.
She doesn’t think that this is a viral rash. She thinks that this is a medication issue. She thinks that because he is taking both aspirin and Motrin that it is interfering with how his platelets work causing petechiae all over his body. She took him off aspirin temporarily and is going to see him again Monday to make sure that everything is improving.
The good news is that she also said his heart sounded awesome compared to prior to surgery! We love hearing that.
Thanks be to God – again. 🙂
Yea!
