Updated!

So I'm finally updating Kaleb's blog! My sister recently started a blog for her two little ones, and the pressure got to me. :)

Kaleb will be 10 months old on Friday. I can't believe it! He is officially 20 pounds heavier and a foot longer than he was at his birth (24 pounds and 29 inches). He has been off the "premature baby charts" since he turned 6 months old. We have been so incredibly blessed to have such a healthy son given his early arrival. He has had some problems with his platelet count, but that has nothing to do with his prematurity. About 6 weeks ago, we discovered that he has ITP, which basically means he has low platelets. He had an infusion when they were at their lowest (4,000), but I am pleased to report that last week, they were up to 78,000 (which still isn't even the low side of normal). BUT the doctors have hope that he will simply grow out of this.

Anyway, he's fine...just his happy, giggling self! I am going to do my best to update this blog pretty regularly. I know you're excited.
