• Our Nephew Trenton

                                                                 

  A few weeks ago, our youngest nephew, 15 month old Trenton, was admitted to the hospital out in Denver.  He is the son of Jared's younger brother, Tyler, and his wife, Mari-Jo.  It's a long story, but what it comes down to is that Trenton's platelet level is too low.  A normal count is 150,000-450,000.  His is going as low as 3,000.  The doctors originally thought it was a blood disorder called ITP, but it's possible that it is not, since his body is not responding to the treatments he's received.  He was released from the hospital after the count went up some and has had follow-up blood tests.  Last week, the doctor called and told them that his count dropped to 3,000 again.  Tomorrow morning, Trenton will be undergoing a bone marrow biopsy.  It should take a day or two for the doctors to have the results.  Would you please pray for this sweet little guy and his mommy and daddy...that they will have peace in their hearts as he undergoes the procedure and as they wait for the results, that he will not be fearful and that he isn't too sore afterward (he will be under anesthesia during the biopsy), and that the doctors will be able to definitively diagnose what is going on in Trenton's little body.  Our family knows that God has His hand in this situation, and that He has known Trenton's body since before he came to be.  We fully trust in His plan, and pray that He will be glorified in this.  But, it's still scary, especially for Tyler and Jo as they don't know what is wrong with their little boy.  Please pray for them...I will update as soon as I he ar anything.
