Busy Week!

Well, Olivia's friend Emma had her 4th birthday party yesterday at Chucky Cheese in Round Rock. We had such a great time! I was afraid we may not make it since Olivia had a cold this weekend with a slight fever, but like always it only lasted about 24 hours and she was back bouncing off the walls in no time. Her favorite game in the arcade was air hockey. She's played it before and tends to get a little aggressive at it. I have to keep reminding her to not hit the puck too hard and to not climb on the table :o) She did find a little boy who was maybe a year or two older than her and he could keep up. She also really enjoyed the shooting games such as Jurassic Park Shoot the Dino game. I just know she'll be out hunting in a year or two. She doesn't get that from David and I though!

Reece goes to the doc. today for his blood work. This will be the first time since the NICU that he has had blood drawn. I'll admit, I'm a little nervous. The Hematologist has been waiting until we needed blood work done to check his factor levels as well. This will also be the first time since we first found out he has Hemophilia that we check this. When he was born his levels were less that 1%. This is what puts him in the "severe" category. I'm not even going to let my self hope that this test will show anything different. Here is a description of the three levels of severity that I copied from the Nat. Hemophilia Associations website. I'll let you all know when the tests come back for both the allergy and the factor levels.

• People with mild hemophilia (6% to 49% factor level) usually have problems with bleeding only after serious injury, trauma, or surgery. In many cases, mild hemophilia is not discovered until an injury or surgery or tooth extraction results in unusual bleeding. The first episode may not occur until adulthood.

• People with moderate hemophilia, about 15% of the hemophilia population, tend to have bleeding episodes after injuries. They may also experience occasional bleeding episodes without obvious cause. These are called "spontaneous bleeding episodes."

• People with severe hemophilia, about 60% of the hemophilia population, have bleeding following an injury and may have frequent spontaneous bleeding episodes, often into the joints and muscles.
