The results from the blood work came back today--although her WBC count is slightly elevated, her numbers are within "normal" range. Her surgery will go on tomorrow as planned.
Halleluiah.
Her platelets are lower than they were a month ago. Platelets are what help the blood to coagulate; osteopetrotic babies typically have less than normal amounts. To accommodate this, Zoe will be loaded up with platelets before they start to work on her.
We don't have an exact time for surgery yet, but we are pretty certain that we will need to be there early in the morning.
As before, I will try to put regular updates in the blog here.
Thanks for your continued love and support. This is turning out to be quite the roller coaster ride, and I've never been much of a fan of roller coasters. I am grateful that you are all here to hold our hands through this.
