Update on the ER visit

Quick update-

Ethan and family are home. At the ER, they were able to get the bleeding to stop.  They did labs and his blood counts were low, but not low enough for a transfusion.

They were able to go home but with the instructions to watch for more bloody noses- chances are, if he does have another bloody nose, after the ER, they will take him back to Children's for a transfusion.

Chemo can drop the red blood cells resulting in low oxygen in the blood, making it flow thinner.  It also can drop the white blood cells decreasing platelets, making it hard to clot.  If the counts were lower, a transfusion would help bring both up to a better level.

Thank you for your ever continuing prayers!
