More questions than answers

We took a road trip to Columbia to see the hematologist. It was one of those things that didn't get done before we came home. Ellie came along. I didn't think we would take her, but Linda said we should ask her what she wanted to do. I told her 2.5-year-olds don't have those kind of opinions, but we asked anyway and she chose to go.

Unfortunately, none of Linda's records were there when we showed up for the appointment. They scrambled some to get the labs faxed in. While some of the lab results could be obtained, they don't really know everything that was tested and they certainly didn't have all of the results. In the end it was mostly hypothetical musings: If they (meaning Boone/Rusk) didn't test for this, then we should probably screen for it. It it turns out one way, that can mean something. Otherwise something else. It might be significant for siblings (and Ellie) and it might not.

One thing they did have enough information to say was that Linda is getting the correct treatment (blood thinner).

They are going to get back with us when they have Linda's lab results gathered from Boone and Rusk. Then we'll see if we need more tests, and we should be able to ask the important questions.

We did get a chance to see most of the therapists quickly at Rusk and say hello. That was nice.
