Prayers for Gideon

So Gideon's hematocrit was down to 24 on Friday and his hemogloben was down to 7 but his reticulocyte is up to 0.2. It's still a far cry from the 3-5 he should be at but at this point I'll take any increase no matter how small. We go today to Vanderbilt Childrens Hospital to meet with a pediatric hematologist. He wants to run some tests to make sure we're not dealing with any other illnesses that can slow or stop bone marrow production. He will also run his crit again and if it's down any more we'll be checking in to the hospital for another blood transfusion. He even said during our phone consult to pack our overnight bag because we probably wouldn't be leaving for a bit.

Please add Gideon to your prayers. We're praying that it is anemia that he is dealing with and not the C word. We're praying that this next transfusion is his last and that his bone marrow will start to function and work as it should and that our sweet baby boy can finally start to heal.

Thank you.
