Jasper had his regular 3 monthly blood tests today. It was the first one that I have not been totally scared of the results for.
We are so lucky that Jasper's blood is so healthy, that I don't really have a need to worry.
Jasper was ok going in.. he knew it was just a thumb prick, not a vein drain! It makes him much happier.
He is mesmerised with the blood coming out and going into the vial and onto the slide. I can't watch for fear I will pass out!!!
As predicted, his blood is perfect and there is no dramas!
The best thing is that his weight has hit 14kg even!!! I was so excited, and his height is 105.2cm. I think that is growth of about 3.5cm in 3 months.. pretty cool!!
For anyone interested, his bloods were as follows:
White Cells: 5.40 (norm range 5.00 -17.00)
Haemoglobin: 131 (norm range 110 - 145)
Platelets: 160 (norm range 150 - 400)
Neutrophils: 1.57 (norm range 1.50 - 8.50)
Red Cells: 3.87 (norm range 3.90 - 6.00)
These results are pretty steady, and the doctors are really happy with him.
Next medical news will be in April when he is due for his Bone Marrow Aspiration.. then we should be able to go to 6 monthly blood tests (fingers crossed).
Paul is home from work this week, so we are looking forward to spending some good family time together.
No more news for now.
Thanks for reading!
