We are taking Annabeth to a Hematologist

Annabeth has been anemic for several years.  They have been watching her blood count very closely.  The pediatrician did a big work up on her and the preliminary test results showed that she has von Willebrand Disease.  It is a form of hemophelia that girls can get.

They have referred us to St. Jude.  Just hearing that name scares the mess out of me, but in my intellectual mind, I know that that is where the HEMATOLOGY/oncology doctors work.  They are the best at what they do.

Praying that Annabeth's nerves will be calm, praying for answers, believing that God will carry us through this process.

UPDATE:

All is well with Annabeth, her labs so far have been all negative.  The other testing that they did showed her at low risk for a bleeding disorder so we don't have to go back to St. Jude.  She will follow up with her Gynecologist with hormones to help regulate her cycle so she will not be so anemic.

Thanks for the prayers.  God is good.....all of the time.
