Well, we had his follow up appointment on Friday to recheck his hemo and hemo crit levels. We were hoping for improvement but his little body is still not producing red blood cells like he should be. His levels were the same as the day before. Doc said that she wants him back in a week instead of two to recheck him. If his levels do not change or get worse again, we will be seeing a hemotologist or oncologist for furture testing and monitoring. Depending on what happens, he is still on the list of potentially needing a blood transfusion. So let's all pray that his levels increase and his bone marrow starts kicking up red blood cell production again.
Today he was a little pale again but his color is coming back. He is eatting here and there but is so stinking picky.
Its scary having to go through all this with Justin. Probably the scariest thing Ive gone through as a mother. I now know what my mom felt like when she found my little sister in the middle of a febrile seizure when she was 2.
I guess we wait now.
