Some great news....

We were in Ann Arbor today with Andrew. We had lots of great news today. First, Andrew did not need a platelet or blood transfusion. His platelets are down, a little, to 14,000. This is a borderline number, but the doctors felt we could wait until Monday to transfuse. The doctors were encouraged by this two week stretch without a transfusion, but still want to see number trends before saying the treatment is working. Second, Andrew can go off steroids, which means he will, hopefully, shrink back down to "normal" four-year-old size. Third, the doctor mentioned they have a few people off the bone marrow registry who would be possible matches for Andrew in case he needs a bone marrow transplant. So we left Ann Arbor today feeling hopeful and excited. Praise God for some great news.
