Overdue Update

I was given grief today by an unnamed person, whom I will just call "dad," that I haven't posted anything in a while. So, here we go!

Things have been going pretty smoothly lately. About a month ago, I noticed a lot of the tiny red bumps on his belly, which is usually a sure sign of a low platelet count. I e-mailed our doctor to see what he wanted to do, and of course ordered the usual blood test.

I was really preparing myself to hear a low number so was again pleasantly surprised to hear he was at 103,000! I was really in shock and extremely grateful.

Trenton's been doing just fine, as he always appears to be, so we will just continue hoping that he grows out of this obnoxious disease. In the meantime, we continue to watch for signs, worry any time he bonks his head, and pray.
