Title: Caedmon is heading home!!!
Post by: Mark Anderson on April 11, 2012, 02:45:25 am
Hey guys. I'm sitting here at children's hospital with Caedmon. He started bruising Sunday really bad. We got him to the drs this morning and they ran some blood tests. The dr sent us up to st Louis right away. Got here around 7:00pm. They've done some more blood tests and his platelets are around 1000. Norman should be between 150,000 and 200,000. Also his white blood count is acting wired. I'm scared to death because the leukemia word has been used a lot as well as ITP. ITP would be much better.
He insisted on wearing his BOM hat up to the hospital.
Pleas pray.
Mark

Update.
I really appreciate the prayers everyone.
We're still playing the waiting game but things do seem to be looking up. The drs (6of them) all seem to think it looks more like ITP than leukemia (symptoms are almost exactally alike). They are still running some tests to be sure because even though the symptoms are the same the treatment is far different. We have a few more major blood tests that should be in by morning and if those are all clear then we might get to go home tommorow or day after. If there is still some questionable white cells and stuff then my little guy will have to have a bone and bone marrow  biopsy. If that turns out posative for luek. Then we'll be here for a while.
Again thanks for praying.
Mark

Yes!!!
The drs came in this morning and said "you'll get to head home today".
The blood tests came back with no sign of leukemia so they have diagnosed him with idiopathic thrombocytopenia or ITP. He still has to be careful because his platelet count is really low and there is a pretty good of major bleeding if something bad happens. So well just be careful.
God is awesome and Caedmon and I will get to be together early Monday morning trying to call in a long beard!
Thanks for your prayers guys!!!
Mark, Caedmon and the whole Anderson Family

Great news, Mark! 

Caedmon:  You know by wearing that hat, you know all of us were with you, pulling for you.  Now get out there with your dad and call in a nice gobbler!
