Labor Day


Journal entry by Mindy McBride — 30 minutes ago
Today we had hopes for an MRI but each time they laid Andy flat he would lose his oxygen levels. The Infectious Disease doctor thinks that it will just take time to heal. The ID team also does not recommend continuing with the IVIG because of his kidney function. We are hoping to see his levels come down. He was 3.8 down to a 3.4 and normal high range is 1.5. His white blood cell count was 22, to 14, to 8 today.

We are looking at running a marathon not a sprint and am just trying to keep a good pace. We hope you all enjoyed your Labor Day weekend. To all of my educator colleagues and friends, may you sleep well and greet those students with an amazing smile. I am sad to miss the first day of school in my new role as Principal at Parkway Montessori and Community Middle School AND I can't wait to meet all the new students I will support. I did send a welcoming video to greet the students with.
