Austin's Blood Test

Austin had a doctor's appointment this afternoon with Dr. Porter. His blood levels have improved! His hemoglobin was 10.8, up from 9.2 and his hematocrit was 30.5, up from 26.2. This is great news and we were extremely excited about it. His reticular(retic) level had actually fallen a little bit. It was .7 and now is .0. This is the level that tells if he is making his own red blood cells. He has a re-check Thursday morning. Please continue to pray for him and we hope that the retic level improves!
