RollersInVegas

The day was too busy for pictures, but here's how it went:
Isaac saw Dr. McKnight today (immunologist). He reviewed his last labs that were taken when we were in the hospital in Vegas. Everything was ok except for his CD8 t-cell count. That number was 110. Dr. McKnight said that normal was 500-700...but, with DiGeorge, a low count was to be expected. Now, Isaac was born without a Thymus, but he is making t-cells...just a low number. Dr. M expects Isaac to catch up in a few years. We go back to see him in 5 months (when Isaac is 10 months). At that visit, we will do a function test to see if he'll be ready to have the live vaccines (MMR) and to see how his body fights different things. We will also then check the tcell count. If the numbers are the same or lower then we'll have to go to CA to have bone marrow tests done. Dr. M didn't think that Isaac would fall in that category...and I HOPE and PRAY that he doesn't. He said it was great that Isaac hadn't been sick at all yet (like a cold)...but, that he still needs to be a BUBBLE BOY this year...if he gets a bad cold or RSV...he could be in the hospital for weeks. So...sorry everyone...the germ rules still stand...if your kiddos are sick, or you are...just call us...we won't be able to let you in the house. We still love you though!
Eli went to the dentist..and NO CAVITIES!
Chris understood his pre-algebra homework.
I had to make brownies with Eli...he likes to cook them..but, leaves the entire pan for me to eat...and I can't just let them sit there...that would be too wasteful...
We have no appointments scheduled for tomorrow...just errands to run for the other boys...health project and scout camp out for Friday to prepare for.
