My 8 month old niece, Jordan, in New Jersey has been in the hospital since Friday. She was not keeping anything down and my SIL took her for fear of dehydration. They took many blood tests and her blood platelets are really low (now down to 27). If they get below 20 she will need a blood transfusion. Her liver tests are coming back with high readings and her hemoglobin count is low. If her platelets are not back up today, they will be doing a bone marrow biopsy and checking for leukemia. We are hoping and praying that this is just one bad viral infection. My SIL has been there the entire time because my BIL ruptured a disk in his back so she is really struggling for strength right now during all of these tests. Please please please send as much nestie dust and prayers our way. We feel so helpless being so far away from her and Baby Jordan so they need as much help as they can get.
Thank you! And I will be sure to send an update once we hear about the test results today.
