6:30 p.m. Update
Eli's hemoglobin is up to 7. Thank God. He's currently taking his 4th transfusion. It takes a little over 3 hours and then they will do another CBC test to see where he is.
Tomorrow morning he will undergo a bone marrow biopsy. He'll be under anesthetic so that's always a concern especially since he is so weak right now anyway. We'll have preliminary results tomorrow afternoon.
The other possible diagnosis besides Leukemia is Transient Erythroblastopenia of Childhood
Obviously, we are hoping for TEC.
Thanks for your prayers and kind notes of encouragement.
Trusting God.
Blessed be the Name of the Lord.

Chris and Mary,
My heart aches for you and all that you are dealing with. But, I am thanking Jesus that He goes ahead of you and knows your way. Praying especially hard for your sweet Eli.

Praying for Eli and the rest of you. What a terrible thing to come home to.

We have been home a week from Ukraine ourselves and I cannot imagine going through this, not now, not ever really! Praying and crying out with a mother's heart for all of you that God will heal, rest and restore all of you! God bless!

I came over from Meredith's blog, and I just wanted to let you know that I'm praying for you all, especially Eli and I'll keep watching to see what you find out and how to continue to pray as you go. Many blessings...
