Haven't update Jasmine's condition for a while, because there aren't too much progress and I'm physically and mentally exhausted. Jasmine's potassium and sodium level are stable now with the help of medication. She is still on few kind of antibiotics; in order to fight off any potential infection that she might has on her mass. There were days that Jasmine's blood count was low and almost needed a blood transfusion. Fortunately, she is able to create more red blood cells on her own these couple days (although is still not in the normal range). The doctors and us had a conference last Wed and here's their plan:
--continue to perform blood draw and monitor Jasmine's blood test result
--if everything looks good through the weekend, then the doctors will move to the next step: sclerotherapy
Sclerotherapy : using medications to reduce swelling and infection. Sclerosing Agents are injected into certain large cysts to reduce their size. This mean the cysts is not removed, but scars down on itself son that growth stops.
