Well, the lab results were a day late, but in this case, no news actually is good news. Kyle's counts all look normal. Hooray. The only out of whack thing is persistently high neutrophils and low lymphocytes, but that is likely a sign that he's still fighting something off, which would explain his persistent tiredness. This is my mom analysis, anyway. He also is a little low in glucose, but he'd just come off the whole vomiting thing, so I won't fret over that much. No one is too concerned in doctor land, and I'm not one to borrow trouble, as it seems to find us on its own enough anyway, so we are good with all this and pressing on cheerfully, knowing that an oncology check-up is coming in early December anyway. The addition of FiberSure to Kyle's diet seems to be moving the earth more regularly now, so perhaps we can keep impactions away, too. I was even able to focus on Kyle's new occupational therapist and become interested in pursuing sensory activities for him. Developmental needs usually take a backseat to health needs, so when I get interested in development again, it's a good sign. Dear Kyle always gives us plenty to focus on if we choose to. Mostly, I prefer to focus on his killer brown eyes, sweet smile and warm hugs. I thank God that it looks like we have plenty of that to come.

Thanks for your concern, to those of you who have been checking in for news. It is good to know we have your support and prayers.
