Jayden's WBC

So Jayden was finally well enough to get his blood taken to test for all the things they are testing him for. He actually has an ear infection, but that's all right now. There were three batches of blood, one set of standard tests and two of other. The first came back today and his white blood count (actually his Absolute Neutrophil Count) is pretty low. The white blood cells are what help your body fight off viruses and infections and his doctor said they would be pretty concerned if he had a 2000. His count is 700.

That makes him a lot more susceptible to any infection or virus he comes in contact with. It may be that he has some viral suppression and that it is a temporary thing, but they are going to retest him in two weeks to see if it changes for the better. Just wanted to give you updates on what is happening. Please keep him in your prayers that he can be strong enough to continue to fight anything he comes in contact with. Looks like our seclusion inside (at least for the time being) is beginning a bit earlier than we planned:).
