It has been a wild time here, so I just couldn't get back on this patient. I finally talked to one of the referral canter docs that we have worked with before and then I got one of the neurologists. They said "we have no idea what is happening with her, but you will never get the heme/oc guys to admit it".

Her Hemoglobinopathy Heb soluability- neg hgb A-98.6 hgb S- 0 hgb C- 0 hgb A2-1.4 hgb F- 0

anisocytosis- slight poikilocytos 1+ microsytosis 3+ polychromasia 1+

She has not had any more unconscious 'spells' in the past 2 weeks and her hgb is actually up to 8.6. They are continuing the FE Iv for now.

Baby is fine. So all is well that ends well for us. I hope she does ok now.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
