Easter......

Well this has been the strangest Easter ever....Friday was suppose to be dinner at my mom and dads but mom thought she may have a cold so she stayed home and dad brought dinner over here with Lori and her friend Jackie.....then this morning Elle woke up a little on the warm side so Elle, Kaden and I stayed home while Paul went to his families for dinner.....

Elle had a blood test this week to check on her white cells, red cells, hemoglobin, and platelets and turns out that not a lot has changed. Her white cells were 3.8 coming home but this week they were something like 2.5. The rest are still on the low side but she tends to be normally on the low side....anyways the fact that her white cells are very low makes her very sensitive to infection and not able to fight off sickness......so, once again we are missing out on things in order to keep her as healthy as possible....we just never seem to get a break! Besides all that her lungs are much better and her breathing is back to normal. Elle will go back for repeat blood work on Wednesday. Should her blood work be worse she may have to have her bone marrow tested....for what I don't know and right now I don't want to know......she has had that procedure done once before when she was a baby. They do it under conscious sedation so that is a relief if it needs to be done.

Kaden, he was grumpy today!! I hope that tomorrow is a better day for him....
