Bloodwork back

We recieved the news of Landons bloodwork results this week. We are happy to report that he does NOT have anemia nor any blood or iron defficiency at this time. All levels are within the normal range. The bad news is that means that the BHS can not really be helped at all at this point. Better to have one issue than 2 though so we feel blessed. He has done very well most of the week. He didn't have any passing out spells yesterday or today though he almost did 2 times today, he didn't and that is what counts! He has another Dr appointment for a foot issue that has come about tomorrow. A sort of boney growth under the skin on his ankle/foot area, that he has had since we picked him up, has grown a lot latley. The Dr wil take a look and maybe x-rays. Not sure yet. We spoke about it on the phone deciding if he can handle another appoinment right now or not. We both feel that all the Dr appointments and Greg's (daddy) coming home, started a sort of routine disruption. In turn what seamed like "not a big deal" to us, was a pretty bid deal to him and has left a bit of anxiety the last 2 weeks causing the episodes to increase. It is noraml to have sprurts of episodes especialy with anxiety or stress levels rising. So she asked us to explain to him what they are going to do with his foot, talk to him about going to the dr and such. When I told him that tomorrow he is going to be going to the Dr, before I could get anymore out he said" Dr Booboo, arm" and pointed to the spot they last took all the blood out. He didn't forget at all. But I told him that he doesn't have to get a boo this time and that there will be no shots. I showed him his foot and told him she will look at it. So for the rest of the day/evening he tells me"booboo foot, Dr. see it-right here". He is so smart and funny. So what we thought would only be one more appointment may turn out to be 2 or 3 depending on if she thinks he needs to see a specialist for this! This poor child, but what do you? I can't wait for it all to be over and I am sure he can't either.
