...and then amazing news!

sway's newest blood panel revealed a hematocrit count of 26% which is 10% higher than it was just a week ago.
...and it's almost the highest she has ever been since being diagnosed back in july of 2007.
so that is really reeeeeeeeeeally good news.
she does have another UTI so she is back on cipro for that.
we are culturing both the urine sample from saturday and the new sample that was taken when i met with dr. dodds yesterday.
the panel didn't show any red flags for diabetes and dr. dodds is running another test to *hopefully* rule out cushing's.
should get all the results shortly,
her water intake remains as crazy as ever but in sway's case it just seems to come with the situation we find ourselves in.
thanks for the prayers.

Hey Josh,

Found your blog by googling it. So happy to have found it, and Sway is so absolutely gorgeous! It's amazing to see her pics from her low point to a better point. So glad we have the forums and our blogs to keep the faith strong!
