His test results from this morning were to show his blood cell counts and how well he's producing red blood cells. All tests came back very positively except for his hemoglobin levels which were low, therefore he's anemic. So they are giving his doses of iron during his feedings via NG tube and this is a sign we will pretty much definately have another blood transfusion however if they can keep him producing as he is until we get ready to head home they will probably do it the day before he's discharged to be sure he's as healthy as he can be before leaving the NICU. They don't want to do too many transfusions as each one is an increased risk for infection.
Please be praying for his blood cell development and counts, and know we're indebted to you for everything.
Love you guys-
Travis, Lindsay and Tennyson Myers

Tennyson, Granny is so happy you have a mommy that gives us every update! She is precious! Your daddy and mommy have called, taken pictures and blogged us every day! Sounds like you are doing really good and we will pray for your blood counts! We sure don't want to have to fix liver for supper your first night home!! That would not be very funny! Granny would rather celebrate with steaks! Take care sweet baby and I'll be talking with mommy and daddy later tonight! Friday is coming and I can't wait to see your face!!! Your Silly Granny
