Guest guest Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Liz, what is RDW? I don't know that one. is due for bloodwork in April. We go every 6 months due to seizure meds. HIs whte count is always low and usually a lot of other stuff is slightly off too. We took him to a hematologist for the white count and high hemoglobin but he said he goes more by if the child is healthy than by the numbers. Tori's cholesterol does seem pretty high for a child. I wonder if they'll do anything. I dread 's. He's been living on french fries and he has put on quite a bit of weight since we raised his depakote. How is Tori's diet? Terry Re: Bloodwork is back UGH..hit the send button before I was done. Cholesterol is Hi at 195 Non-HDL is Hi at 144 LDL is Hi at 122 RDW is Hi at 14.6 Now waiting to see what this all means. ARGH!!!!!! Liz Had Tori's bloods done and her results are back. FREE T 4 Is within range (Whoop!) TSH is low at .20 Cholesterol -- Liz DeSantis "The person who follows the crowd will usually get no further than the crowd.
