Just heard from our docs in NE. They too are concerned with his white blood cell count. Caed typically stays at 5000-7000. Monday's test showed 18,000. Our first step is to get a stool culture. They want to check for c-diff again. This might be an odd prayer request, but we are hoping that it is. Our nurse said some sbs kids have lots of pain with c-diff (and increase in stool) - which Caed has had. If he does....then we can treat it with some long term antibiotics. If not, they are wanting to see him! So, our June appt. might come sooner than we expected. (but we will pray not)
Caed did ok yesterday. Most of the day acted very normal with the exception of a couple of short pain spells. He is definitely stooling much more and the consistency is pure liquid. Ughhh! He has also had 2 accidents in the middle of the night (which he has NEVER done before). He is having to get up about 4-5x during the night. Tough on Mommy and Daddy....but tougher on him!
Please pray for this next step in trying to determine what has happened and where our healthy, thriving little boy went............... ;)

Sweet Lori,
Your precious Caed is in my prayers as are you and all of your family. Will definitely pray it is the c-diff!! I understand that prayer request:)

Lori, I'm continuing to pray for all of you. His grace and peace will carry all of you through. It hurts to know that Caed is hurting again and having all this trouble. Showers of His greatest blessings upon each of you.
