Dean

Every year on Dean's birthday, I make him go see our family doctor to get a yearly exam. Well, two years ago the doctor told him that he had a low white blood cell count. Dean just shrugged it off. So he went back last year and it happened again last year so the doctor sent him to the hemotologist to get some tests done. So they ran a bunch of tests and found out that Dean was low on B-12. So last March they started giving Dean b-12 injections. In November they decided that Dean could start giving himself the injections and they'd see him in three months to make sure it was working.

Last week Dean went back to the hemotologist and once again he is low. So, they are going to run more blood work. I guess there is one last test this guy can run and if Dean's level doesn't come up then they will send him up to Gainesville to see the States top hemotologists to run some really extensive tests.

I guess it could be a serious thing if you go without b-12. So they will run tests on his bone marrow. But if it doesn't come up, then there could be complications with his muscles both physically and mentally. So please keep Dean in your prayers.
