Kayla had her appointment with the pediatric hematologist this morning. The doctor didn't seem too worried about any of the results so far, which was a little reassuring. He is supposed to call us by Friday this week to let us know the final analysis. He seemed familiar with African blood issues - apparently Africans are genetically a little more likely to have certain problems than other races. The fact that Kayla is not anemic is a very good thing. I will update when we know more.
One side-note though, if you have to have blood drawn any time soon - try to avoid the nurses with the "too much caffeine" shakes (I suppose that goes for barbers and surgeons as well). We had a guy from LabCorp last week who was great and only had to find one vein on Kayla, and was done in 2 minutes. The guy today worked for nearly 15 minutes, tried 3 different places, and left blood all over everything. Kayla handled it better than I did...

It's very encouraging that the doctor is familiar with these issues and doesn't seem too worried. Other than the adventure in drawing her blood, it seems like you have a doctor that knows what he's doing.
We'll continue to pray that the tests come back positive (or is that negative?). How about we just pray that the test results come back with good news? :-)
