Feb 26th labs

Ashlyne's blood work came back this week with improvement. Ashlyne's liver tox levels have gone down to 41 and her white cell count has gone up to 4.5 and a secondary level in white cell went up to over 1800 which makes her less at risk for infection. Ashlyne is not having to wear a mask all the time now, she still needs to be careful and protect herself is she is around people with colds, etc but she is doing much better. Ashlyne's sed rates (inflammatory levels) are at 17, not the lowest they have been but not considered an issue at this time.

Ashlyne will continue all her current meds and resume taking gentimiacin on March 1st and we will do more labs when we go to Omaha on March 9th.

Thank you for your continued prayers! Please specifically pray for medication balance, for her appetite to return, for this flare to completely resolve and for her to lessen her steroids and allow her to increase her solid food intake. Also pray for growth, that will be a huge signal that she is healing, last time we know of growth was September 07. She has gained all her weight back but has not had any increase in height.
