Mummy sick!!! In hospital. :(

:(

On wednesday:

my mom is sick with viral fever!she has very high fever, headache and spine ache and cant even get up without aid. since she got wet in the rain yesterday she has been showing these symptoms.

Today:

her fever is down from her high of 102-103!!!

but its still howering around 99-100 with headaches that happen every few hours or so. after she takes her pills the headaches and fever go but they seem to come back.

today morning she was complaining about stomach ache and irregular stools.

her blood results are out. dengue is absent (there are many cases in Delhi now), malaria has been absent (but she was given a "FALCIGO" injection before the blood sample was taken as the procedure is in India. CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHATS "FALCIGO" GIVEN FOR?)

also her Complete blood count report says: Hematocrit is below normal, Platelet count is below normal (comment: borderline), Neutrophils are above normal, are above normal.

General body Profile: TCO2 is below normal, Anion Gap is above normal, Albumin is below normal

A/G ratio is below normal.

SGOT is above normal. (54 U/I normal 9.00 - 36.00)
SGPT is at 38 U/I normal 10.00 - 40.00
Bilirubin (total) 1.00 mg/dl or 17.10 umol/l normal values: 0.20 -1.00 mg/dl or 3.42 - 17.10 umol/l

its the SGOT which has doc suspecting it might be jaundice.

her chest X-ray report/urine report will be given today.

only the 'Bactec' will be given after 5 days!!!

today they took some more samples.

its very troubling they dont know what it is! they treating her symptoms only.

i am so worried right now. and as you can imagine very harried. i am home now but will be off again soon.

please keep her in your prayers and hope she gets well at the earliest and this illness gets diagnosed soon.

P.S. anyone a doc here or has any friend can please tell me what some of those terms means or are used to test for what illnesses?
