Jason Health Update
Jason went to the doctor on Monday to have his blood tested. He has been going every other week for 7 months now. The doctor has been lowering his steriods each week to try to get him off of them and keep his platlets up. This week they were down, way down. Less than 5000. Normal is anywhere from 150,000 to 400, 000. Anything less than 50,000 is not good. After these results the doctor suggested a bone marrow biopsy to check for lymphoma. Jason had this done of Thursday. We are waiting for the results of the test, which we are hoping to have on Monday. If that comes back negative Jason will have his spleen taken out at the end of the month. We are hoping that with the spleen out, his blood platlet levels will start being normal. Keep your fingers crossed and Jason in your prayers.
