So just an update, still no real definitive answer as to what's causing the extremely high Ferritin numbers, the Doctor put her on 500mg of Cipro 2 times daily, for 10 days, he wants to rule out infection. His belief is that Cipro is a well-tolerated fairly broad-spectrum antibiotic, and once that concludes we'll see where we are. So COVID kinda confounded the issue since it also messes with the Ferritin numbers, so right we're kinda in a wait & see mode until the COVID passes, fortunately her symptoms are mild, little cough, tiredness, and weakness, so just hoping we can get a negative test soon and that will be a relief, since we kinda went into it in a compromised state. The appetite stimulant appears to be working as she is eating and drinking better. We did move her over to the Skilled Nursing Unit since we were thinking she might need an I.V. if her fluids situation didin't change, so we're undergoing another situational transition due to a new setting, so she they gave her a couple low doses of Ativan initially to help smooth the transition. So more to come, she's still very weak and tired,
