My sweet munchkin, what a personality you have!... you are full of life and this picture captures just a tiny bit of it :) Your smile and giggle are contagious! Daddy and I are amazed at you daily. You are without a doubt more than we could have ever asked for. God definitely broke the mold with you :) Love you baby girl! Happy 13 months!
This month Calleigh went back for what I thought was to recheck her iron... and it was a rough appointment :( Instead of just checking her iron, they wanted to do a full blood panel to see if her body was producing enough red blood cells on its own. Apparently back in February when she was real sick and had RSV her red blood cell count was super low. A low count could indicate a bad virus or lack of production. Since she was finally illness free for a month (yippee!) they wanted to test and see if her counts were any better. After attempting a blood draw in BOTH arms and getting nothing, they resorted to just a finger prick to check her iron and decided to try the panel again at 15 months. My poor baby had bruises on both arms from the blood draw attempts... I sure hope it goes smoother next time! Her iron level was still low, so they switched us to another oral iron supplement that she now has to take twice a day. We are praying that this supplement will do the trick and that when they test in July we will see positive results!
