the next step
This disease has been a challenge for us in so many ways. The diagnosis of NAIT is under question with all our prior unresolved questions and particularly the lack of response to maternal platelets. Our expert opinion by Dr Bussell from Cornell recommended that we explore other diagnoses since Ibrahim's disease has not been behaving like NAIT. So tomorrow morning baby Ibrahim will have a bone marrow biopsy performed (a needle is inserted into his hip bone to get a biopsy of his bone for review under a microscope to evaluate the possibility of any other disease processes). Please pray for him. The biopsy will be performed under general anesthesia, since he is so small and Inshallah will happen at 8am. He continues to be transfused with platelets tonite and will receive another transfusion before the biopsy. Hopefully, this will provide more insight as to his diagnosis.
