My Newborn Niece

Well, yesterday my younger sister gave birth to her second child yesterday, a beautiful baby girl named Alyssa. Everything seemed to be going great until the staff informed us that her blood platelets were extremely low. They gave her a transfusion and her body reacted in a very positive way, but the doctors still need to check her bone marrow tomorrow to see if this transfusion kick started her body into producing its own platelets.

She seems stable so far, but we don't know what exactly caused her low count. Please keep my family in your prayers.

Well, she's out of the NICU for now, but they still are waiting on results of the bone marrow biopsy performed today (won't know until Monday). She is with my sister in her room and may go home with her this weekend.

She did go home with my sister and is doing good. Test results came back and she is starting to produce platelets!! They will test her again next week to see how she is doing.
