still at the hospital......

We are still in the hospital, with no end in sigh it seems. The doctor just came in not to long ago and did tell us that the neutrophils that were there yesterday, which were only 168 is even less, 82. So he is still in the danger zone and still keeps to be gradully getting less and less. The good news is that the doctor was able to get Asher's blood test that was ordered by the pediatrician on the 12th and saw that his neutrophil count was normal (1000) so what that means is that is not something he was born with but rather a very serious viral thing. One of the many things they are looking for is a thing called cyclic (don't know how to spell it) nuetropenia, which means that every 6 weeks like clock work his nuetrophils drop to almost zero and then go back up and then in 6 weeks go back down again, and so the cycle continues. They are also trying to rule EVERYTHING out. They even used the scary words, luekemia and cancer. They don't seem to think that is what it is, but we are hoping and praying that is not the case.
Will keep you updated on the status.
