411

There is nothing really new to tell just yet. One of the women that works in the lab came up to draw some blood and kind of explained to me what they'll be looking for when they get the samples from his spinal tap. They will take 3 tubes of spinal fluid and look for different things in each one- in one, they will check is white and red blood cell count, another they will be looking at his protein and glucose levels, and they will culture the 3rd sample. We will have the results of the first 2 samples sometime today, but they have to watch the culture for 48 hours to determine if there is any bacteria in the fluid. He is still stable and looking good though. I'll be on again when we get the results.

Hey babe, I was just reading over the notes I missed, it brought tears to my eyes when I read about the blanket. You have been blessed in so many ways since Bryton was born. So many different people and different agencies have given to your son and your family. Dont ever doubt the compassion of people, even when the world seems like a cold place, just think of everything that has come together to help your son overcome the odds. He is a little miracle and someday you will have the opportunity to pay this forward. I luv u all. MOM
