Please keep little Cole in your prayers

Tests that came back from the state (a screening) where they screen for several different diseases and one came back positive for CAH… it is a life sustaining hormone regulated by an enzyme that supposedly this disease is where they do not produce it. (1 in 19,000 births are affected by this disease) What a scare …so tests were repeated to look for several things in his blood…and with that they found he was dangerously high in Bilirubin… they had him under lights for the last two days in the hospital and now back at home…his blood has been tested several times and all is in normal range now after IV therapy and lights…They get the repeat test results back on Mon or Tues of next week to determine whether or not the CAH is a false positive…so pray that it is….they said sometimes preemies will have elevated levels of potassium or different things just because they are so preemie…so…just pray pray pray for us…
