Update: Henry, once again, was a super champ during the blood draw. The lady performing the needle work knows Henry but there was a new big dude in there and when he saw Henry take the needle without so much as a peep his response went something like "Whoa." (Think Keanu Reeves in The Matrix.)
*Normal range is 40%-60% of the white blood cell count. Henry's was 7% as of this afternoon.

Booo! That's stinky stinkerstein.
Bummer. Do you have to go to Seattle? At least Henry can see the pig again.
I'm sorry to hear that. If you do end up having to go back to Seattle, maybe Henry's throngs of girlfriends (and their mothers) need to go with. You know, for moral support. Do they want you to take any new precautions in the meantime or just proceed as normal?
I believe we will have to go to Seattle. Our doc wants Henry to be seen by the doctor he spoke with before who came up with two additional tests, which we're going ahead with. Thankfully because the company that tests for one of the genetic disorders already has Henry's skin biopsy from a previous genetic test they ran, Henry will not have to have another biopsy. I think to run the other test, they just need a blood draw. And you know, Henry really did like that pig.
No new precautions. When I asked our doc said we shouldn't let Henry's wonky numbers dictate anything we do. So, for now, we still are planning on me starting school again, although now we're amping up the search for a smaller daycare. It'd be great to have moms and girlfriends along for the trip. Although Darr is going to do whatever is possible to come with so it's not as if I'd be going alone.
That sucks, but I'm glad the doc told you to proceed as normal regarding play/school/etc.
Avery and I are also up for a trip to Seattle if more company is desired.
[sniff sniff] I'm sorry to hear this...
