DOT +47

Dad again... Patrick's White Blood Count today showed an additional drop to 1.4. It was discouraging since 3 days ago it had risen to 5.8. The doctors, however, reminded us to stay positive. "I don't think you should be concerned at this point. Sometimes the marrow just takes longer to recover for unknown reasons." Patrick was put back on Neupogen, the bone marrow stimulant, to try and re-boost his marrow recovery.

At day 60 he will be tested again to determine donor cell percentage. It is possible that he will need additional donor cells if the test shows the need. So, there is no doubt that this journey IS a roller coaster and stressful physically & emotionally. Thanks to everyone's continued prayers and correspondence, Patrick continues to stay positive and move forward.

Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.

  1. If you have never enjoyed the wonderful experience of camping out, you are definitely missing out. There is nothing better than going waking up next to nature. If you want to camp, then now is the time, more than ever, to get to it.
