According to yesterday's blood counts, his hemoglobin is quite low. Everything else seems to be fine, but if his hemoglobin continues to drop, they may have to give him a transfusion. We are hoping and praying that this won't be the case.
Hannah started school today. I always thought that this would be a difficult day for me, but it wasn't. With all the care that David is requiring lately, it has been hard for me to keep her occupied. I know that she is going to have so much fun at school that it was easy for me to let her go.
I gave you all the wrong email address for my friend Emily who will be coordinating things for me. The correct one is embeasley@gmail.com I went back and changed it on the last entry, but just in case you all need it.
Some people have been wondering how our pediatrician was able to catch David's retinoblastoma. Here is a picture that shows you kind of what she saw during her exam. We are also able to see this at times when David looks at the light in just the right way. This is not a picture of David, but the white reflex is what we are able to see.

Hi guys,
Your mom emailed me your blog address Kim, and I've just caught up on David's health. Know that I am thinking of each of you and praying for you. I'm carrying you all in my heart and in my thoughts. I'm cheering you on as you support David and each other through this. Be as gentle on yourselves as possible.
Thank you so much for keeping everyone up-to-date with this site on David. It means a lot to me, as I'm on the other side of the world from you. I'll tell my mom about what's happening for you all too, as she's not on email.
I love you so much my little sister Kim. Big huge warm hugs, from Rachel OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
