White cell count sky high

Jasmine’s white cell count is really high in her dialysis fluid. This is a sign of infection. She is being treated with antibiotics and has been put on dialysis for the next 24 hours. If the PD catheter is infected and remains so, they will have to remove it and Jasmine would not be able to have peritoneal dialysis until completely healed. Again this means that she would have to have hemodialysis, and all of those complications.

Grandma Stalker left on Monday and today Grandma and Grandpa Firth came along for cuddles with Jasmine. We also got to hold her for a long time today and gave her lots of feeds. She is up to 13mls an hour. She filled her nappy twice with stuff that didn’t look battery acid.
