Notes from the Dungeons

Well it was a very busy day today. Ty went to the doctor today and he is healing...We go back in three more weeks and he will probably schedule a MRI on the knee. The only problem with that is we might not get the best results considering he has metal in there and it might make it difficult to see what is going on in there. A big part of it will depend on him and how it feels when he starts to put weight on it. So the news there was rather encouraging. Friday we are off to talk to an attorney, we have been contacted three times from Allstate insurance (the lady's ins.)We just need to cover all our bases and will not settle anything till he is back at work!

After we finished with him at the doctor we headed to get Amelia from school. We have been putting off getting them done, not for any particular reason. Just the less you know the happier you seem...well so I thought that would be the case. Anyway off to get the blood. One stick was all it took with very little digging. I wasn't planning on getting her results till tomorrow, but our pediatrician called from her cell phone. That right there in its self is a heads up!!!! He counts were not the best at all. They all took a turn down ward!
Platelets 23 {normal should be well over 150}
White blood cells 3.5 {normal here is usually between 5-7}
Hemaglobin 9.5 {normal here is 12 and above}
ANC 770 {to fight infections it should be 1000}

I emailed the specialist in Minnesota, NOT THE NEWS I WANTED TO HEAR FROM HIM!!!
this was his reply:
" recheck in a week. Obiviously I hope this is temporary but if not up I might need to activate the donor search. I'll hold for now John"

My head is spinning once again my world is being turned upside down, not the words I wanted to read. I can't stop crying my stomach is in all kinds of knots, my heart aches. I know we have to do what we have to do, but I am scared to death here. I don't want to see my baby suffer and I don't want to loose her!!
I can't let her see me crying!

It's also been an emotional night as we have learned of another FA adult patient who lost her battle unexpectedly today. She will truly be missed in the FA community!

I will pull myself together and storm the heavens with lots and lots of prayers! I have to go for now I can barely see the keyboard. I will try to give a better info update tomorrow.
