So first Macey had her ultrasound on Monday. She had to starve for 6 hours, and not drink so she was a little unhappy. I toles her I knows how she feels cos sometimes Mom is late feeding us when she gets home from work. I saw her eying my round tummy so I don't fink she believed me. We are still waiting on the results from that.
BUTT yesterday her Dr. from Blanks Children Hospital called and said all of her blood work was fine EXCEPT one of the weird ones he took. She showed positive for CAT SCRATCH FEVER sometime within the last 6 months. WEIRD cos she never had scratches, or marks, or a fever or any of the symptoms most people would have showed. We read up on it and it said you can even get licked by a CAT that has it and get sick. But hers never got sick.
SO now the important dr. at Blanks may send her onto infectious diseases cos it is still a mystery as to WHY her leg and foot are still swollen and IF that cat fing that happened so long ago has anything to do with it or not!!!
Cat scratch fever can create problems with your lymph nodes so maybe it hurt a lymph node that has to do wif her leg and this is her reaction....none of it really makes any sense. They did say it was to late to start her on antibiotics...so we are waiting on who she see's next.
The kidney girl from Iowa City did call and check up on her cos she is worried about the amount of blood that shows in her urine....she thinks that of course is a different issue from her leg....so in a few weeks she will go back to follow up on that.
Mom is working on our Thankful post for the week. WE have lots to be thankful for.

ReplyDeleteWe chased a cat out of our yard this morning. He had to climb a tree and onto next door's roof.
Crikey ..... those stupid kitties are good for nothing, aye?? I'm goin' to chase every single one I see up trees and hope they NEVER come down. Maybe now you will start to get some answers and dear little Macey will be well again.
ReplyDeleteHugs and love to Macey!!!!!!
It's always a CAT'S fault!! Hopefully this gives them something to work from and they can help Macey out soon.
ReplyDeleteIt can be so frustrating - especially when there is more than one thing happening - for some reason doctors seem to latch on to one thing and forget about other things happening. We have our paws crossed and hope some answers come for Macey soon
ReplyDeleteI'm praying that they figure it out. Here's another interesting thing that I experienced-I had an extensive blood test a few years ago and it should that at one point(probably when I was teaching little ones)I got the infection from cat's feces and the markers still should up in my blood-which is why I try to stay away from cats(plus I get asthma from them). I hope you all have a blessed Thanksgiving; I am thankful for you all.

Cat Scratch Fever from a LICK?!? I am staying away from cats from now on! I am glad that the doctors are starting to figure things out. Macey is always in our thoughts...we hope you all can enjoy your Thanksgiving.
