Just the beginning....

Well....we went to the doctor today and were told that we have to go for a follow up appointment in 6 weeks, and go for a CBC in a month from today. They had not recieved the discharge from the hospital so the doctor is waiting for that, but one of the things that he doctor told us that the EBV that he was diagnosed with is not only part of the herpesvirus, but it also can cause certain leukemia's in children. Comforting huh? The dr. also told us that the drs. at A.I. Dupont were really baffled at his netropenia. His levels were so low that there was major concern and there still is some concern, so that is why we are going back for a follow up and also more bloodwork. When the dr. said that EBV (Epstein-Barr Virus) can lead to certain luekemia's in cildren. So, pretty much, we are at the beginning of all these tests. Ugh. Please pray.
