Andrew is back at school (round two)

Andrew started back to school on Wednesday. He had a lab draw on Monday, which yielded good results. Andrew's white blood cells are at 2.5, his neutrophils are at 1.5, his platelets are at 260,000 and his hemoglobin is at 11.2. The doctor was very happy with these numbers. Andrew is still off the neupogen shot (which he is very happy about). We go back to U of M on the 19th for several different appointments. Andrew has to have a series of tests done on his kidneys and then a few lab draws and a regular doctor visit. We will find out on Friday if we can start reducing the cyclosporine.

In other news, we leave for San Diego on November 21st. For those of you who don't know, Andrew qualified for a "Wish" through Rainbow Connection in Rochester, Michigan. His wish was to fly on a plane. So we helped him decide to fly on a plane to the San Diego Zoo. We are also going to Legoland, Sea World and the ocean. Andrew is very excited, as are the rest of us!
