We had some bracelets made for Jamison's cause. These are the silicone bracelets, white because that is the Retinoblastoma color. The front says Jamison's Journey and the back says Retinoblastoma Awareness. We're asking for a donation of $5.00 and we'll send you a bracelet. We have both adult and youth sizes. You can email me at uscjayme@yahoo.com for more info if you're interested.
I took Jamison for a CBC today, he had one on Monday, his hemoglobin was low and they were talking transfusion. The doctor was busy and the nurses and I decided to wait and see what the doctor would say. They usually transfuse when the patient is under 8, his was 7.5. He wasn't really symptomatic, though, so that was why we postponed. He had a few incidents of being a little more tired than normal, but nothing terrible and with the warm weather it's hard to tell if that played a part in his sleepiness. His CBC today came back with good news, his hemoglobin jumped up to 8.2 and his platelets jumped from 54K to 143K. Now he has an extra week, since his ophthalmologist is out of town next week, to try to let his body recover a little more. He did have a platelet transfusion last Thursday, his dropped down to 9K. He was bruised from head to toe and he fell and skinned his knees and they wouldn't scab. It's amazing how wonderful he is. I'm so proud of him and Cole for being so strong.
I do realize they'll kill me one day for this picture, but it's nice to know they have some brotherly love at one point. lol
