We got our test results back regarding Bennett's health on Friday. He has iron-deficiency anemia. His iron level was a 6 when it should be between a 24 and 36. Dr. Nau wants us to give him iron two times/ day with orange juice to help it absorb into his system. The poor thing already struggles sometimes to poop, I can't imagine what this will do!
We will go back to have his iron level re-tested in a month. Please continue to pray for Benne. This could be part of the reason why his growth and development has slowed down in the last few months. Hopefully we will see gradual improvement in these areas as his body starts getting the iron that it needs!
