Another round of Factor

Last Saturday Asher developed a rather large bruise on his upper right arm. Needless to say it looked pretty bad. We actually didn't notice it right away, Grandma Beth did. Grandpa Ron and Grandma Beth were staying with us last weekend as we were going to be gone most of the day on Saturday with getting our taxes done and a church seminar. Well, the bruise threw a wrench in our day! Julie decided to stay home while I headed to WDM to get our taxes done and then onto church.

So we called the home health care company in the DM area and they came down and infused Asher on Sat morning. We thought this might be only infusion he would need. Wrong. He actually needed two more! So as the nurses were there, they poked Asher 5 times before he got his factor! Ouch! Julie said that he did pretty good despite getting poked 5 times.

He only was poked twice on Sunday. A little better. So we now we thought he was done. But on Monday morning, the bruise didn't look that much better. I had thoughts of inhibitors, but I think it just needs more time to heal. So he had an infusion on Monday and this was his last one. The bruise does look better, but like I mentioned, it just needs more time to heal. I am hoping by this time next week, you couldn't even tell he bruised on his arm.
