August 26, 2010 - Blood results

Dr. Waldrop's office called to say that Mom's sodium is low. There were some other figures she gave me but she had already sent them over to Ryan Cantwell as well as called him. Most concerning is her white count which is elevated to 17.2. The upper normal is 10. So I have already called Cantwell to find out what to do next. They could simply call in a prescription for an antibiotic or they could make an appointment. All the other doctor reports from this week and the previous week will be in Cantwell's office by Tuesday latest. Tuesday we are meeting with Waldrop (neurologist) to get a summary of Mom's head and carotids.
