Thanks, Dale, I may just do that.

Im not sure its a sinus infection.......its more just like he's been

" off " for a couple weeks now. Not eating well, tired, cranky, falling

apart easily, just not himself.

When we went for infusions on Monday, I asked they check his iron

since he has been anemic before, and I thought thats what it was.

His iron or, I guess, hemoglobin, I should say, was just great. But,

his WBC and ANC were somewhat low. After reviewing his charts, his dr

realized this has happened a few different times--he goes up in the

high 9's and stays there a few months, then his ANC is down in the 1's

for while, jumps back up to the 9's, drops back to the 1s. He wants to

rule out an autoimmune thing.I think this is all related. Usually with

a sinus infection his asthma flares. But he just looks so funny.....so

very pale, with these giant black eyes--and now nose.

Its tough, too, because he doesnt feel well, he is just SO CRANKY and

keeps crying and crying over just NOTHING, its difficult to not want

to discipline him for this, but I know its bc he doesnt feel well. Im

trying to keep my cool.

today he keeps saying his legs wont go. cant walk, wants to be

carried. too tired to walk, he says. his legs are too tired. and

typically, this is MR. Hyper boy.So something must be going on with him.

Its HARD to wait till next week to know more!!
