Good news for Bailey...

After over a month of nothing but bad news with Bailey we actually got some good news yesterday. Bailey went in for another blood draw on Monday to see where her kidney levels were and red blood count. The Dr. called and said, "I don't know why but I actually have good news for Bailey today." Some how something we have given Bailey has helped and her kidney level went down from 100 to 71 and her red blood count from 7.0 to 4.0. These are still not normal levels but they are better and we like better, so now we just wait and see. Bailey ends her ulcer medication this week, I wonder if this will affect her in any way. The only part that's hard is we don't know what helped, was it a bacterial infection we fixed? Or did the chemo she received help improve her health, it just took her longer to respond? So we have to wait and see if she stays happy and continues to eat and drink or if she starts to decline again. But we would rather wait and see then put down $1500 to look for cancer that may or may not actually be there. The Dr. has told us many times that's what she wants us to do, I sure it's tough for a Dr. not to know what is wrong with a patient. But she will have to wait as well. We hope and pray for the best with Bailey, she will go in for another blood level check in about two weeks. Maybe the numbers will be even lower then...you never know. :)
