Update 1/24/10

So Kim can't get on here to update her blog. At the hospital her blog is blocked probably because of all the scandalous things she writes on here so this is Nate's little sister Haley.

As far as the RSV goes Beck is doing quite well. His lungs are still clear and it doesn't seem to be bugging him as much. The bigger problem that they are concerned about is that his platelets have decreased to 87 and that's a huge drop in just one day. They are thinking that his ITP is rebounding which they knew was a possibility if he got sick again. He is once again covered in bruises and those little red blood freckle things all over his body (I don't know what they're called, so Kim can tell ya when she updates again). Because of this they started IVIG again. They aren't doing steriods because that would just make him sicker when he's RSV positive.

The cute little guy gets to wear his helmet again which he isn't so excited about. While the RSV has knocked out some of his energy when I was talking to Kim he still seemed to be pretty active. He was biting open a dvd cover and then pinched his lip in it and gave himself a bloody lip, which is so helpful with his lowered platelets! OH I almost forgot but they are still in Des Moines, they will be able to stay there as long as Beck's platelets stay above 50.

Please keep this family in your prayers!
Haley
