07/30/10 Blood Work

We got a call from the hospital today to discuss Eli's tests and blood work. Eli's hematocrit has dropped down again and the doctors are a little worried about it. They want to do some more testing and more thorough blood work on him. We've asked if we can be referred to a specialist in hematology but Eli's doctor, Dr. Makris, is out of the office this week and the current attending isn't willing to refer us. I'm not sure what the big deal is because we had a hematology consultation when we were in the hospital dealing with this same issue so this isn't uncharted territory. It looks like we'll be waiting until next week to find out if we get a hematology referral.
