Well we have had some conversations with Dr. Eastman today and we think we have an idea of what's going on with baby Zachary. Even though the newborn screening tests that they do for 25-30 tests showed all of his were negative, his uncle Kevin (Les' brother) and his cousin Mattie have a rare trait for thalasemia which causes anemia that is untreated with iron. Anyway, as stands now, we are still going to Children's on Monday for the GI Dr. to look again at his liver, spleen, kidneys because of the bilirubin test. Dr. Eastman is waiting to hear from the hematologist that took care of Mattie and Kevin. We're hopeful to see him Monday or sometime next week. Meanwhile, he's the sweetest little guy. Again, so wish we could have been with Caleb and Caitlyn during this time but only God knows why we weren't. We're just so exctied to see them ina little over 1 weeks time!!!!!!! Love to all.
