Simone Update 8/15

Simone is doing much better. Her platelet count was up to 325,000 as of yesterday! Hooray! We're officially out of the woods! She goes back in for another check next week, and then hopefully we can start lowering her steroid dose. They make her thirsty (she now drinks 4-5 bowls of water a day) and thus has to pee a lot (I get up twice a night now to let her out). Her eyes look great though...I've never seen them this white. It's making us wonder if she hasn't had this all along, and for some reason, it's just gotten worse now. Whatever the case, we're glad we caught it and that there's something we can do about it!
