DOT +40

As Mom said the other day "the roller coaster has reappeared but we know that this is only temporary!" Well we're back on it! Today Patrick's white count fell back down to 1.9. Since the white count is having trouble increasing, the doctors are thinking about possibly doing a bone marrow biopsy. He needed blood today and of course potassium (no surprise at all!). This took about 3 and a half hours and Mom and Patrick were back at the apartment by 12:30. 

We will hopefully get the results of the whose is whose test tomorrow. Please continue praying for Patrick's white count to increase with more donor cells that his own... sorry p!! Thank you for all of your support. God is good!

Xoxo,

And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.
