Hi Ruth

The doctor just emailed me and it's been offiically diagnosed as Aplastic. I sent back a ton of questions to her, so hopefully she will get back to me, if not, I'll follow up with a phone call.

Mom is in good spirits, which is great. She has been through so much this year with her health, we thought we were passed it.

The doctor said they are working to get the medication, in the meantime, they did a blood transfusion and are happy with the results, so she will go home for the weekend until they are ready.

As you thought they will be treating her with anti-thymocyte globulin and cyclosporine over a four day period.

One of the things I asked, and maybe you can answer. After that and she goes home, when does she go back for a check up and more blood work? And how long between treatments?

I told my Mom about this forum and she's looking forward to checking it out herself.

Best Regards,

Lianne
