Blood Counts

They have Bill on blood thinner to reduce clotting, but it was making his red blood cell count go down, so they had to take him off it. Of course, that's concerning due to the possibility of a pulmonary embolism or other clot forming. The good news is that his red blood count is going back up. Now we were told that his white blood cell count is going up which is a sign of infection. The Hematologist is concerned about MDS so they want to do a bone marrow biopsy. Mother is waiting for the Pulmonologist's opinion to give her consent. We are going up again this weekend. Please continue to pray for his healing, mother's strength and our safe travel.
