Mon 31st Jul 2017 Super good news on blood

dsDNA is the best so far.

Complement C3,4 first time ever, except for an anomaly, in normal range.

Inflammatory marker ESR, extremely low.
The blood tells it all and the info from this last sample delighted us.
Elise's ESR told the specialists in the first instance that she had Lupus two and a half years ago. Unfortunately it never dropped to a satisfactory level, only now, for the first time, it's within range.

The wonder of modern medicine in combination with the miraculous human body has brought the levels under control.

We had a disappointment Saturday evening in that there was an accident with a hot water bottle being too hot, resulting in a second degree burn on her heel. Because there is no feeling in the heel, Elise wasn't able to tell it was being damaged and didn't know for over an hour. This resulted in another trip to Monash Emergency - a special dressing and an appointment with a Plastic Surgeon in two weeks time to check on the healing process.
