April 2010-Resilience-














Hello again,


I have decided that Davis' new middle name is resilience! He experienced some vision problems yesterday that landed us back in the ER at PCMC. After a Cat Scan that cleared any bleeding into his brain, he was seen by an ophthalmologist who said that he did have bleeding in the vision part of his right eye, and some partial bleeding into his left eye. Hoping that the cause of this new symptom was low platelets and finding that his platelets had dropped to 1,000 and red blood was low as well, we were admitted over night and transfused with two bags of platelets and one bag of red blood cells.


The word resilience comes from working around the annoyance of viewing the Jazz loss through one eye, and trying to eat with altered depth perception. As well as being pre-medicated with medication to avoid having a reaction to the platelets and the blood only to have a reaction of restless leg syndrome from that very medication. Go figure. So his legs wanted to jump and run and his head could only sit still.












His spirits are lifted with every call, card, text, treat, and beating me one-eyed at Connect-Four! With his semi-Schwarzenegger glasses...To his friends at school..."I'LL BE BACK!!""We are home for now on the same precautions...and a few extras. We will keep you posted!






Thanks again for all the continued care and calls.
