Wednesday 7 p.m.

Platelets from 4 p.m. were 8,000. We will check again at 10 p.m., and if they are still decreasing, Ibrahim will get a transfusion tonight. They sent genetic testing for Wiscott-Aldrich today, and will send the test for Penicillin -induced antibodies tomorrow. 

Saira's blood work came back today and confirmed she does not have anti platelet antibodies in her blood. We are not sure how this helps in Ibrahim's diagnosis, because it is obvious that he does have some sort of antibody that reacts to platelets. Not only is his own platelet count low, but his count does not rise appropriately after transfusions. We will try to call Wisconsin tomorrow to follow up on tests that his blood was sent for.
