Update on Anna Finley
Hi everyone,
First i want to sat Thanks to Cheryl for keeping updating on Anna and thanks everyone to continue praying for her.
Anna is full of mistery, no one knows what is going on with her right now. All her labs are good except blood in her urine, her Platelets are normal it looks like everytime we do labs they r higher and higher hmmm... She has some back pains and not eating very much.
Yesterday we were first ones to see our doctor and last ones left her office during that time they did all kinds testing and ultrasound but still came up all normal. Our doctor dosent know what is really going on with Anna. They think she might has low AHUS present but nothing showing up.
Anyone been in this situation? We can use any ideas for testing what we should look at..
Thanks.

I'll keep Anna in my prayers. It's so frustrating when things are not right and there are no answers ....
Shortly before I had my first relapse, my plts were higher than ever (>400) -- I wonder if it is a compensatory mechanism that eventually fails? just a thought ....
