Bone Marrow Transplant - Day 4

Day 4~ AJ is feeling good and ready to come home. He has not been released yet but he is ready! His numbers are WBC .3 and Neutrophil (ABS) .12 we are almost there. He has not had a temperature since Monday and the doctors are pleased with his response to the meds they are giving him. Once his counts reach zero we are looking for them to rise, which will mean the marrow is grafting.

Our prayer now is that he will be protected from all infections and viruses, until his body can protect itself.
AJ had his dad cut all his hair off, now the buzz cut that he had left is starting to fall out. Aubrey (dad) cut all his hair off to join AJ in this journey, check out their pictures. AJ is not happy about the hair. I reminded him that it was a small price to pay for a cure...he agreed! Plus it is only hair it will grow back.

Tomorrow is the first day of school for Daniel, Jonathan and I. Jonathan is not able to go back yet, still recovering and in some pain. We are praying that he will be ready to go back on Monday! I thank God for my sister who is here standing in the gap, please pray for her strength.

Thank you all for your support, prayers and well wishes
