Valley Fever Update on Michelle Rose:
I couldn’t be happier with Michelle’s recent progress. She has gained a little over 5 pounds in the past two weeks. She accomplished this even after getting a pretty severe upper respiratory infection. Michelle now appears to be over her current respiratory infection and is really alert and looking much better. With the weight gain she now has strength in her legs to walk normally. She no longer walks like an old lady taking baby steps. When Tom goes to give her medication she sometimes gives him a run for it. Tom has to ask me to step in and help catch Michelle. Yea!
I will take Michelle to the vet tomorrow to have blood work done. The last time her white blood count was three times the norm. We need to make sure that count comes down. I have taken Michelle off the naxcel and again am giving her doxycycline.
Although Michelle has a long way to go in terms of weight gain you can see she is actually starting to fill in. I definitely cannot see her ribs as defined just a couple of weeks ago. You go Michelle!
