 The transfusions seem to be doing well thus far. Glory to God. She does have more energy now than before. The Dr.s are jsut curious as to where the infection is coming from. She jsut got done with mroe blood work and we should hear about the blood count in an hour or so. Again we can't thank you all enough for the prayers and kind words of encouragement

 Update on blood work....
Heaven's Hemoglobins has went from 5.6 to 7.7 but the Hematacrits have went from 32 to 23. This is after the 2nd blood transfusion. The hematacrits went down because they say it is due to how fast her body (absorbs) all it can. But please do not stop praying. The darkest hour is always just before dawn.

Also, I dont' know anything about the family but a Mom and Dad lost there son this morning. I ask you all to please say a pray for that family, was very sad...I cried and prayed for them throughout today. Makes me look at things from a different point of view. Feel so sad for them. Also,  they will be doing another blood count in the morning and that the Bone Marrow Biospy is still scheduled for Monday.
