Update #5

I went to the lab today and got the results for the final blood test. It took about a week longer to get than the lab had first estimated it would take but the news is finally in that Jackson has Type 1 von Willebrand disease. We don't see the hematologist until Monday because of the lab delay but we hope to find out more at that appointment and then probably be sent off to the lab ourselves to get tested. We are so happy that he has the mildest form and that we now have an answer. I'm also grateful that we didn't find out after a major surgery or trauma. We now know that he may need to get lab work and/or medicine to boost his levels before he has surgery. We also know that we need to tell people that we don't abuse our little man and that he is an easy bruiser...please don't be calling CPS on us. The boy has never been spanked, beaten, pinched, etc...that we know of. But let me know if you hear of anyone doing that to him and I will take that person down!!
