I was thinking "wow, no one posted today!" and then I realized its presidents day and most of my ladies post while at work. lol.
Update on MIL. Her hemoglobins jumped from 3.9 to 6.2 in one weeks time! Dr's were pretty amazed. They did a bag of iron and another Epo (Red blood cell boosting shot) on Thursday but today they saw no need to do anymore treatments, her body is reproducing blood at a rapid rate!
Won't know today's count until Tomorrow, but Dr thinks we will see it around 7, and probably see about 1 point per week increase. Minimum for surgery is 8, BUT I have been saying since last week that since its going up so quickly, I wouldn't be surprised if they want to see it get back to normal (12 to 15 range) Before doing surgery. SIL was convinced that they would do surgery once it reached 8, since thats what they said it needed to be. I kept saying that was a MINIMUM requirement and if its going up so quickly, and she isn't needing emergency surgery, why wouldn't they let it go higher?
Welp thats exactly what the Doc said today. SIL seemed a bit peeved when I told her the news. Probably more of that "I am wrong" kind of thing, she hates being wrong lol. But its not like I rubbed it in, I just said that the Dr's confirmed my guesses of seeing it go back to normal before doing surgery.
Anyway, thats a long rant in it self. After spending 2 weeks straight (staying in the same house) as my SIL, I was about to kill her. They are coming back this weekend. Thankfully for only two days lol.
DH and I plan on going out to dinner Friday night and I will be turning my phone OFF! She will probably gripe about us leaving, and leaving her to "babysit" her mom. But uhm you unthankful little brat, I have been taking care of your mom FULL time. Give me one night off please!
