Yes, the doctor originally diagnosed her with TEC, transient eurethroblastopenia of childhood, maybe just being hopeful. He had no idea what the cause may be, but she did test negative for fifths disease. But, it doesn't appear to be transient at this point. Usually that is resolving by the time it's found, if it ever gets bad enough to be diagnosed. Then he was pretty sure she was just in transition to leukemia, but no, didn't find that. I think he was trying all the best case scenarios before he had to admit it wasn't so good. Last weekend, in the hospital, they began to believe she has MRSA around her central line port. We don't have the C&S back yet to confirm and I don't know what the labwork looked like there, but they had her on neutropenic precautions. Now I'm worried the MRSA infection will take her much sooner than I expected.
