My Little Lion

Ok serious business first... Kiran's test results came back from the lab today. Her lead test was normal so no lead poisoning. PTL! Her reticulitis count came back in normal range. PTL! Her peripheral smear came back normal. PTL! Her antibodies came back negative! PTL! So what does all that mean? Well a huge thank you to Merritt's dad, Dr Squiers- a pediatrician in Denton, TX ,who talked me through all the test results today. Basically, we can rule out a whole bunch of major stuff- cancer, bone marrow disorders, genetic anemias. HUGE Praise. We are praising in the Caskey house tonight.

But we still have a ways to go to figuring out what is causing Kiran's anemia. We have an appointment with a hematologist next week at Greenville Memorial Hospital. Please continue praying! Its obvious that the Lord is answering your prayers!!

Yesterday I stopped by a consignment shop near our home. While conversing with the owner and her teeny 10-month-old, we started looking through the Halloween costumes that she had. She pulled out a lion costume and it fit Kiran perfectly. I hadn't expected to dress Kiran up as a lion for Halloween but really, who could resist this?

She's even roaring! How great!

PTL!! I just finished up filling in for a girl on maternity leave at the hematologist's office. What a great group of doctors and nurses. They sure know their stuff. You will be in great hands! We will keep praying for answers.
