We have been watching Davis for the past week with his health. He has had some issues with bruising and petechiae. In the past twenty-four hours his platelet count (the part of your blood that helps you clot) has dropped to a dangerously low level. We have seen our pediatrician as well as specialists at Primary Children's. After a scare for what is very serious, the specialists at Primary are fairly confident that it is not being caused by Leukemia. We will watch Davis' platelet levels and re-take labs every Wed for awhile.
He is remaining positive despite being put in a bubble and grounded from sports or any rough play, or even getting a nosebleed. Also, included is NOT taking the stairs four at a time and having exercise ball wars with Ryan and Ben. Someone has told him to "milk it for all it's worth!" We will remind him not to let it go to his head! We are asking for any calm and yet exciting spring break activities...puzzles anyone?
petechaie!-Tender Moments-Thanks to all of you for your loving support. We have had some tender moments in the past few days with our family and realize how blessed we are to have one another. It is very humbling to walk through the halls of Primary Children's and especially sit in the oncology unit. We are grateful for the news that we received today and will pray that the healthyDavis we know will fight and generate new platelets without any further help.
We love you all,Coxes
