Update...

Today we had to go back to Iowa City for an appointment with Ben's doctor. We got more bad news... his blood platelet count is now down to 20000, which is not good. He will start a steroid treatment and go back in 2 weeks, so we will be praying that this works! Keep our little guy in your thoughts and prayers. This is hard on Ben and since Conner is our little worrier, he is taking it especially hard, too. After an almost 2 hour drive back from Iowa City in the snow storm tonight, we made it safely home just in time for Ben to have a bloody nose... this kid just can't get a break right now... luckily, he is strong and he will get through this and hopefully be back to his normal active self in the next few weeks!
