As a part of the MAF application process, Jeremy, Connor and I had to have medical physicals. Jeremy was able to complete his, and I will be able to finish mine once the baby is born in September. Connor is almost done with his, which brings me to why I'm writing. Connor did great for all his tests! He didn't even wince when his blood was drawn. What a trooper! Anyway, when the results came back from his blood work, it was clear that he is anemic (apparently a pretty common problem for toddlers). His doctor won't finish and send MAF his physical paperwork until his iron levels rise. He is now taking an iron supplement, and I have changed his diet to incorporate more iron rich foods as well as foods that increase the absorption of iron.
Connor goes back in to have his blood drawn and tested on Monday, June 16th. Would you pray that for his own health and for finishing his physical paperwork that Connor's iron levels will rise to a satisfactory level?
Thank you for your continued prayers as we keep moving forward with MAF!
