The Biggest Balloons Ever!

As many of you know, Max was hospitalized right after his birthday. I noticed some unusual bruising on him, and blood tests revealed low platelet and white blood count (pancytopenia). It was very scary for all of us, and he is still getting weekly blood tests as they continue to try to figure out what is going on with him. In the meantime, we have to limit his exposure to other children and possible sources of infection as he is neutropenic (low white count, so at high risk for infection).

Some wonderful mama's that I have met online sent Max these amazing balloons when he was in the hospital. They were as big as he is, and he loved them. Posted by Picasa
