On the 22nd of February Ethan had a follow up xray, abdominal ultrasound and blood test. He was given the all clear. His blood test revealed his Hb was in normal range but too low for his cardiac condition. He subsequently has commenced a 6 week iron supplement program to boost this to about 170-180. We went home feeling pretty positive about things only to hear that his chest xray revealed his bones looked too thin. This meant back to Monash for wrist, tibia and ankle xrays. These xrays were all clear, but another blood test is required at his next 6 week review. This visit coincided with an audiologist consultation. Hearing was checked and found to be normal - green light for speech therapy.

Ethan is currently enjoying a family holiday in Pambula Beach and Canberra. He seems to have progressed in the last week and a half. He is eating and drinking well. There is no chest wheezing. His toilet training is also good.
