I just finish giving Ryan a nebulizer treatment and a deep suction session. There are two distinctive things I check when doing this: 1) the color of the mucus, and 2) any detectable foul odor. Although I did capture a fair amount of mucus it was absent of both. A good sign, indeed. It’s another indication that Ryan is either fighting a viral respiratory infection or a bacterial infection that we caught extremely early on.Dr. Rodriguez’s office sent me a text saying the CBC (Complete Blood Count) blood test was sent to the lab around 9:30 AM. That was fast! Within a half-hour of leaving our house. They will call me as soon as the results are electronically transmitted back to their office.
Anyhow, a CBC is the best test going to determine overall health. It can easily see if a person has an infection. The only glitch is it cannot usually identify what the infection is.
Good job Ken for keeping on top of things.
Thank You, God, for Ken Diviney and for Dr. Rodriguez.
Ken,
I don’t know why you keep saying “we” caught this early. YOU caught it early with your diligent and loving care for Ryan. You’re truly Dr. Dad…SH
Still praying!
Praying for Ryan. Hope all goes well. Thanks for keeping us posted. You’re doing an amazing job caring for Ryan!
Much love, Peggie
Hope the test comes back fine. Ryan will Continue to be in My Prayers each and everyday. I will say a Extra Prayer that the blood work will come back ok.
