Baby Lilly has had all kinds of blood work ran and two ultrasounds. The specialist is fairly certain she has SCL due to ultrasounds and the fact that she isn't responding well to treatment for IBD. We opted to not do the biopsy because she had such a tough time recovering from anesthesia when her tube was placed (now out).
Her blood work isn't terrible. Lymphocytes are a little low, but over all WBC is normal. She has low potassium and folic acid. Creatinin and Monocytes a little low as well. All values out of range are only out of range just slightly.
However, her diarrhea has been constant for about a month despite being on Metro the whole time and other supportive meds. She's doing okay today, but it was a rough week.
I'm really scared to put her on Chemo, but also know if it is SCL, even though it's slow moving we need to do it soon.
I'm SO TORN. What are y'all's thoughts on this? Should we get a second opinion?
