She was kept on EPO shots, a nurse came out to administer them. EPO shots were continued all the way until she reached 14.9 then the surgery was performed after a few lab draws which brought her down to 14.3. They say epo should be stopped at a certain point but not in this case.

She was kept on a strict nutrional support diet. As a diabetic she was was not given the proper attention initially and we feel this may have contributed to her hemoglobin not rising during her 1st stay at the hospital.
