keep it together

so it started at my mom's saturday afternoon when my mom's husband noticed a large bruise on S's leg. the next day we found two more on his stomach and back. later that night, more bruises all over his arms with popped blood vessels all over his body. at the advice of our smarty pants doctor friend, S went to the emergency room late last night. i met him there around 3 this morning. come to find out he has no platelets. not one to be found. he was admitted to the hospital around 6 am.

they are doing a number of tests to rule out a number of things. they started him on a steroid treatment and we're praying to God that does the trick to get his platelets back up. we will know more tomorrow as the test results start coming back. we do know that even with best case scenario, S will be there for a couple of days.

S is doing well, besides for being exhausted and having been poked all day. he's badly bruised. and tired. C went home with grandma and auntie cj. J is spending the night with grammy and pawpaw. and though i miss all three boys like crazy, i'm glad for the calm after this crazy day. and after 2 hours of sleep the past 36 hours, i'm ready for some rest.

thursday was supposed to be moving day. that is no longer the plan. there is no plan.

praise God for health insurance. praise God that i'm not currently working. praise God for family and friends who loved us hard today. praise God that S feels as well as he does.
