Then perhaps they could figure out if she's growing some Bad bugs in her blood.

She said yesterday when she opened her up, that her spleen was enlarged, but the labs didn't show any indications of something like thrombocytopenia. No cultures done that I know of.
She's thinking now along the lines of autoimmune hemolytic anemia. She can run a Coombs test for that, but for now we'll see how she responds to the prednisone over the weekend as that would be the treatment anyway for it. This bill is going to be astronomical and couldn't come at a worse time.
She's been on IV Baytril since she was admitted and will continue on that also. It could be that she's just now responding to the antibiotics appropriately.
She gave me the option of bringing her home because she's acting fine, but I told her two more days of restricted activity post-op would be good for her and my peace of mind, plus my battery went out in my digital thermometer and I wouldn't be able to monitor her temperature.
