Today we went in for bloods for Joshua, and as expected they were looking fairly rough. However the doctor was impressed that Joshua was sitting on the bed munching on Pringles (he craves salty food at the moment, as it counteracts the funny taste in his mouth from the steroids). He still predicts that Joshua will have to be admitted for some infection or crisis before our next appointment on Tuesday. It would be nice to confound his expectations, but we are trying to be realistic 👦
In this kind of scenario one learns more than one ever wanted to about blood...and being the kind of person I am, there has to be a spreadsheet and a graph. For those who are interested, this is where we are today:
Still hanging above the transfusion lines, but definitely heading in that direction (which is very normal). The right hand two graphs indicate that Joshua has virtually no immune system - so please keep praying that God will keep infection at bay by other means.
