Update on my son and our hospital visit

[Cathy in IL]

We didn't make it to the recheck scheduled for this morning. He spiked a temp and I had to take him in Friday night instead. He was given IV antibiotics. Thankfully his counts were much better. His bone marrow has kicked back into high gear and is producing red blood cells, so his hemaglobin should be rising soon. he will not need a transfusion. We got home at 4 this morning.

I will know tomorrow morning if we need to go back in for more IV meds or if we can wait and have an office visit with his doc later this week.

Thanks for the prayers and the encouragement. You can read his whole story and see a few pics at his Care Page. Go to carepages.com. His carepage name is THELITTLEENGINETHATCOULD.

Oh, Cathy, I'm glad that his counts were better. And I'm glad that he won't need a transfusion. I hope he feels better. I'm sure you are just exhausted. Praying for you.

Great news, Cathy. I hope you can all sleep in a bit tomorrow and have a nice quiet weekend.
