Another virus......

So Broc has not really had a break with being ill.Last week he had a small tummy bug ,then last Monday he had strep and now this Monday wakes with a fever of close to 104F.This is crazy.He was so lethargic so we took him to the ped and then for blood work.His WBC was low and so were a few other numbers.Fortunately his ANC level was higher than 1000.

Fast forward to today his fever is still up and down with Mortin.He is still lying around and not eating much.I took him for another blood draw this evening to see how his counts are doing.OH MY WORD.....
His WBC is lower and so is his RBC,Hgb,Hct. Now his ANC level is 490 something.

I called the ped and he said this is serious again.NO kidding. He thinks he may have the Parvo virus B19 again??? I really hope Dr Nelson has some good answers tom otherwise some sparks are seriously going to fly.

Our Buddy seriously needs a break.He has missed almost a whole month of pre-school if you add up all the days he has missed.He only started in the middle of December. He needs to be heatlhy with a good blood count for his major vascular surgery coming up in June.

As parents , we are seriously frustrated that Broc has to go through all these illnesses,blood draws,hospital stays,time away from his brother etc.That is not the life of a 4 year old.

We had never heard of Pravo virus until he tested positive for it last year and now they think he has it again.It is truly crazy , madeness.

I will update tom once we see Dr Nelson. We pray that he has some answers or solutions for us.If not we are thinking of taking Broc out of State to find help for him.


We thank you for all your prayers and words of comfort.
