Andrew is doing well. We had a lab draw two weeks ago which showed his numbers about the same as the time before. His ANC dropped slightly to 1500 (before it was at 2400). Even though his numbers did drop, Andrew's doctor decided to reduce his medication. He is now taking .7 mL in the morning and .8 mL in the evening. Andrew's doctor also said he could have his port taken out. This made Andrew very happy. We have an appointment scheduled for this surgery on Friday, May 27th. This is an outpatient surgery, unless the doctors feel he needs to remain in the hospital overnight. He should be healed up by the time we go to Disney!
Last week, Andrew also had an appointment with his nephrologist. The doctor feels Andrew is doing well and his blood pressure is under control. The nephrologist feels we can take Andrew off his blood pressure medication in the next few months (maybe by the end of the summer or early fall) because we are weaning him off the Cyclosporine. So, hopefully, by this time next year, Andrew will be off of all medication. We go back to U of M to see the oncologist next Friday, May 20th.
