Thank you for continuing to keep us in your prayers as we seek God's presence in my 2 year old granddaughter Kenna's illness.
Today she was acting pretty sick, vomiting, weak, pale and gray, sunken eyes. We took her early to her doctor appointment and the test showed that now not only were her platelet counts even lower, an almost non–existent 700, but her red and white cells were falling way below normal also.
A bone marrow test showed that she has aplastic anemia, meaning that she is not producing any blood cells. She is receiving platelet transfusion now and red cells tomorrow.
See http://medic.med.uth.tmc.edu/ptnt/00001038.htm
There will be further testing but there is a strong likely-hood that a bone marrow transplant may be necessary and the usual match is found in a sibling, which would be her 4 year old sister Carsyn.
Wrapped in God's loving care,
