Sunday 2 p.m.

Baby had his central IV line changed, but is still asleep from the anesthesia. He has received one more platelet transfusion since morning, but they will not check the level until later this evening. In the meantime, we will probably be transferred out of the ICU and receive another dose of immunoglobulin (IVIG) to continue to help remove antibodies in the blood. 

Dr. Mirro came by today and said he wants to stay the course until tomorrow. Then, he plans to telephone consult Dr Victor Blanchette from Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children (Director of Hematology/Oncology) as well as the director of the Blood Center of Wisconsin, where samples of our blood was sent for advanced platelet testing. He wants to know if they have any more insight into Ibrahim's condition. 

We pray this ailment is removed from Ibrahim's blood just as quickly and unknowingly as it began, even if we never achieve a diagnosis.
