They said he will still need a blood transfusion because his hematocrit is low, and they still have not determined his blood type because he was receiving so many blood transfusions that it made the read inaccurate.
Next week he is due for a thyroid test , scheduled for another eye exam. He is also starting vitamins and iron to help him grow. His cries sound like the most precious squeaks I've ever heard. But to hear him cry is music to my ears.
They are just now changing his isolate and he got a nice bath, so everything is clean and fresh. They are a little concerned about a hernia in his intestine due to straining while trying to potty. He looks like he is developing one and they say it's more common in boys.
But otherwise, he is growing famously! Please keep up the prayers! They are so obviously working!
Much Love,
Rachel and Joshua
