Bailey Update

Bailey is holding his own. I had a visit with him Saturday and again today.

On Sunday his red blood cell count had gone up one number and held steady until today...which was kind of good in that fact that he didn't need another blood transfusion over the weekend. The less they have to transfuse him the better for him in the long run.

But today his number dropped one but because he hasn't built anymore cells on his own and his bone marrow is over working and the fact he has had a high heart rate recently and pulse rate they decided this evening he needed another transfusion. They were afraid to much stress on his heart and they wanted to relief that. His heart rate is high because of all the stress his body is going through.

So, they called this evening to say he was half way through his transfusion and he was resting comfortably and his heart rate had gone down.

Bailey seems to be holding his own...not out of the woods, still critical but we're cautiously optimistic.

Bailey was happy to us...Jenn went with me so I think that does him good to know he hasn't been left and that I have come back. Even after we left Saturday the doctor said he seemed a little more at ease.

Please keep Bailey in your prayers. Not sure I'll be able to make it back until Wednesday morning unless I can make it tomorrow before visiting hours are over in the evening.
