Jasper and Molly: November 2013

It seems I only remember to update the blog when Jasper has blood counts! Oops..
Well, today was the day for quarterly bloods.
All are ok,with not much change.

	22-Nov-13
White Cells (4.50 - 14.50)	4
Haemoglobin (115 - 155)	128
Platelets (150 - 400)	127
Red Cells (4.00 - 6.00)	3.72
MCV (75 - 92)	105
Neutrophils (1.50 - 8.00)	1.34
Lymphocytes (1.50 - 7.00)	2.04
Cholesterol (1.2 - 4.5)	6

Ok, so the red means it's a count that is out of normal range... the cholesterol should be red too.. need to fix my auto formatting!

We are being referred for the cholesterol count, to gastroenterology. Also, we are back to being on the referral list for dermatology, and will get a liver ultrasound in 3 months when we go back for more blood work.

We didn't see our usual doctor, but I think that was a good thing this time... the doctor we saw was SO thorough, and made sure all the referrals were in place and notes clearly written, so I didn't have to go through everything again next time (I am sure I will have to anyway, but the fact that she made such an awesome effort really made me happy!).

In other news, Molly has turned 10... well, she thinks she is 10, and she wants to be 10! She isn't happy she has to wait and be 4, then 5 etc... she wants to be 10 NOW.

Paul and I have made the decision to move Jasper's school.. we believe that the public system will be better suited to him and his needs. Private school does not provide the additional assistance that he may need, and with Molly starting school next year, it is the perfect time to move.

We are amazed at how excited he is to move. I was expecting a LOT of resistance, but he is super keen on it - might have something to do with the fact that this school does not believe in homework (!).. they might now, but this momma does!

Here's a couple of photos of the kiddies...

My handsome lad.
