Bloodwork issue

Well, it seems that Kayla's bloodwork has indicated a problem. Apparently some of her red blood cells are not shaped correctly. They should be like little donuts, but she has some that are like little balls (spherical). Wikipedia calls this condition Spherocytosis. Our pediatrician thinks that Kayla's case is minor, which we hope is true. Nonetheless, he recommended that we see a hematologist (blood specialist). We have an appointment with one for Monday morning. Hopefully we will know more then. Internet research indicates that the big risk for her for now is anemia or possibly jaundice. Fortunately, she has no symptoms of either of these. We'll post more on this issue when we know more. Thanks for your prayers.
