Levi was born to my very good friend Jillian. I worked with Jillian at the dental clinic in Bemidji. We found out around the same time that we were expecting baby #2!
Levi was born on Thursday September 30. Shortly after birth, it was noticed that Levi had a rash all over his body. The doctors ran blood tests, and gave Levi antibiotics for fear of an infection. He continued to get worse and was having trouble breathing. He was airlifted to St. Mary's in Duluth where he has undergone several blood and platelet transfusions. The normal platelet levels are between 250,000- 400,000. Little Levi's platelet levels were only at 36,000. They are doing numerous tests while he is in the NICU. The latest of those was a bone marrow tests. The doctors have informed Jillian that he could have a form of down syndrome called Mosaic Down Syndrome or possibly even Leukemia. They will not know the results of these tests until atleast Monday. I know Thursday and Friday were really bad days for Levi and Jillian. Saturday was better and Jillian was able to feed him. He ate very well which is a good sign.
Please pray for strength for Levi to beat whatever is ailing him and please pray for Jillian too. She had Levi via C-section and was to recover for a few days in the hospital but because of Levi's condition was discharged to be with him in Duluth. Pray for their comfort no matter what the diagnosis.
I will try to keep everyone updated as I receive any information from Jillian.
She knows that I am posting this and is already hopeful and has great faith that God will answer our prayers!
