I wish I had something exciting to report, but there haven't been any developments in what is causing Oliver's low platelet count or his liver dysfunction. His platelets bumped to 44,000 following last nights platelet transfusion (the biggest bump we've seen in a while!) but fell back to 10,000 by this morning. He is still eating breast milk but we've only been feeding him through the feeding tube. He was too tired to try breast or bottle after the bone marrow biopsy and I'm waiting for Monday when his regular Dr.'s are back to ask about breast feeding...there are far fewer Dr.'s at rounds on the weekends and they are different than the Dr.'s we work with during the week.
Hematology called us last night and said the bone marrow biopsy came back negative. There was more tissue in the sample than they had hoped, so they are going to draw blood tomorrow and do another test...I suspect this week will bring lots of new tests. We are anxious to start helping Oliver's body recover from this!
Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers...Jack and Jillian will be returning to Sandpoint tomorrow. It was wonderful seeing them and we will miss them!!!
