April 14, 2010-Aplastic Anemia

We received the news today that Davis has Aplastic anemia. This means that there has been damage to his bone marrow. Primary Children's has taken more blood tests today to determine a few more aspects of this disease that will help us make decisions on how best to treat Davis. These tests will be back in a week or so. The ultimate hope is that if it is a virus, somehow Davis' immune system will strengthen and platelets will begin to be made without intensive treatment.

Davis is able to go out and get fresh air, however, we still cannot have visitors inside close quarters or visit crowded places. So if you see him out walking please say HI!

Thank you again for all your prayers and thoughts...treats and games etc. The results of fasting and prayers have been felt throughout this experience in little blessings along the way!

Much Love,

The Coxes
