Tonya Update

Hey again,

Here's the latest. The Groshong was pulled on Monday. The doctor came in today and said, "your blood work is the worst I've seen since you have been here". He said the hematocrit, which is your blood level for those of you who don't know what that means, is down to 28. Normal is 36-38. We still don't know if there is any internal bleeding or not at this time. He also said Tonya's magnesium and potassium was low. He made it a point to say, you're looking at being here at least another 9 days. They are still waiting on a culture to come back for the infected line they pulled so they can get the proper antibiotic to treat the infection. As of right now I don't think there is a bone infection, at least they haven't told us yet if there is one. A bone scan was done today, but we don't know the results yet. I'm assuming we will know tomorrow about that. That's about all for now. I'm going down tomorrow night when I get out of class and stay for a while. I'll let you know whatever else develops.
