Hi all of your dear friends and family, Thanks you for all your prayers and support through out this day. We arrived at the onocology clinic a little before 9am. Daniel had more blood work done. We waited for some of the blood work to come back and then met the resident doctor. She had a crucifix and a medal of Mother Mary and Baby Jesus on her necklace.... She questioned us on all of Daniel's medical history and his overall health and being. It was very complete. A little while longer and another Docotr came in a great man I forget his name at this time.... but he was amazing. It turns out that Daniel's hemoglobins dropped from 74 yesterday afternoon to 69 this morning. A blood test has discovered that Daniel has very few new Hemoglobins which indicates that his bone marrow is not producing the proper amount of hemoglobins. He talks to us about the various possibilities of this. Including Leukimia. Daniel will be put under sedation for a bone marrow test next Thursday (April 2nd). This will test for nasty things like cancer. The doctors don't think it is leukimia but it could be so they are testing for it. Today, Daniel had many many many blood test done. Complete results form this will take a few weeks. The doctor says that some virus can actually decrease the bone marrow from producing the proper amount of hemoglobins. Daniel was tested for many of these virus today. Some of the virus that can cause this h

Complete results form this will take a few weeks. The doctor says that some virus can actually decrease the bone marrow from producing the proper amount of hemoglobins. Daniel was tested for many of these virus today. Some of the virus that can cause this in the bone marrow have no test. Hence it gets disagnosed as TEC which means that Daniel will have to be monitored very closely and might need repeated blood transfusion over the course of several months but then will be fine. Because, Daniel was very lehargic this morning and his hemoglobins were at 69 and probably dropping he received his first blood transfusion. Which means being hooked up to an IV for 3 hours. I have never ever be so grateful that someone actually took the time to give blood. Thank you to all of you who in the past have done this. ... We will be going back to the onocology clinic on Friday morning for a 9:40 am appoitment for more blood work. Meaning to see how his Hemoglobins are in they increase, stayed the same or dropped. Then we will be going on Thursday, April 2nd at 8am for his bone marrow test for which they have to sedate him. Unfortunately, they are not able to do his MRI at the same time. Hence, my little guy will be under sedation in early april and then again in mid June. Please pray for him,... all of this is affecting all of us. Jacob is very stresed out. .. Thank you for your ongoing support.Will keep you posted.... with lots of love,Roxanne
