Ugh.

This will be quick as its late, I'm exhausted and I have to work in the morning.  Shelby's last 2 blood draws have looked good liver-wise, but not good blood count-wise.  Her white blood cell count and differential (break down of the blood cells) is low.  Low enough to be very concerning of how she's feeling and to take extra, extra good precautions at keeping her healthy.  It *could* be one of her meds causing these numbers to be off or there could be a possible blockage in the blood flow to her liver.  She goes to clinic for the first time in a MONTH :-) this week and they'll do an ultrasound to look at the blood flow to her liver.  Prayers please that she stays healthy - is NOT exposed to any illness - does not spike a temp because then we would have to take her to Chicago - and that the blood flow to her liver is good.  I am hoping that it is just from one of her meds.  We shall see....
