Apparently, the "mono" blood work was sent to Siberia for testing since the results are still not back. However, the antibiotics are really shrinking the swelling in the neck. The biopsy is on hold and hopefully won't be needed. We are to bring him back if the fever returns or his neck starts to become larger. The diagnosis at this time is infected lymph nodes.
Not to be outdone by her brother, Abigail also needed a once over. On Friday, I noticed a circle on her fanny. I was pretty certain I knew what I was looking at and the doctor confirmed it today. Yes, my daughter has ringworm. Hold on everyone, it's just a fungus, which is bad enough. This is why I have a blog people!! Who gets this crap?
Hey,Tracy
ReplyDeleteI read your blog everyday, I don't know, that's to vague of a diagnosis, swollen glands are are one thing, I wouldn't mess with lymph nodes..
as for ringworm I would steam clean the carpets most likley from the dirt in the yard..clean ashley's paws..
I've been anxious to hear the blood results...doesn't it just figure they are slow returning. Poor little Abigail. That should clear up fairly fast. Please keep us posted about Donny.
ReplyDeleteCan you believe we are still waiting on two tests to come back? Big Daddy called the doc today and had a chitty chat with her, he's not too happy. (Nor am I)
