More blood..

So it looks like we're not out of the woods yet with Andrew and his health. In terms of his breathing, everything is fine and normal. But when Betty took him for his 1 month check up, his bili levels went back up which worried the doctor. So a few days later he got additional labs done requiring 3 needle pokes and those came back normal. But we weren't able to get a CBC done because he just didn't have any blood left so Betty had to go back the next day to get that done. The tech wasn't able to find a good vein because of all the blood draws he's gotten over the past 5 weeks so she had to get an ocology nurse to help. She was able to draw out just enough blood but she had to move around the needle back and forth to get the amount she needed. The CBC's came back normal. We were waiting on another result on his reticulocyte at the same time but the labs messed up and requested a different test done instead of the retic count. So now we're waiting to see if we even need that result. If everything comes back normal and the bili levels are still high and not going down, we might have to see a hematologist..

Please pray for Andrew that the bilirubin levels would go back to normal and that he would finally be 100% healthy for the first time in his young life.
