Final

So we got the chromosone study from Bryson's bone marrow back...its a boy! Just kidding...

Dr. Hanson said his chromosones all looked normal, there was a few abnormal things, but he said that is pretty typical of the autoimmune neutropenia. I have been doing lots of research on this and hopefully it goes away on its own. We just have to really watch Bryson and make sure that he doesn't get a fever. We will be doing counts again next week sometime. We are relieved that this isn't anything "life threatning" like we were all afraid of. The only scary thing I guess, is that this is autoimmune, so his body is attacking its own neutrophils (the bodies first line of defens against an infection) and there is no telling when it will go away or if it will ever go away. Time will tell I guess!

We went to the GI doctor and she told us to cut his medicine does in half. We did that and Bryson became so so fussy and miserable again with his reflux. We put him back on his old doses. I don't see why we should mess with a good thing right now and have him be miserable again! We will be following up with the neruologist this week also. That is all for now! I guess it seems like alot, but we just look at one thing at a time and its alot less overwhelming!
