Just a quick update to let you all know we started the ATG today (not yesterday like I'd originally said.) Mac had a good weekend and was taken off the TPN - he's eating again! He is doing better physically and his school teacher has been coming to see him in the room. So we're really pursuing 3 paths now: continue rehab, jump start his bone marrow with another round of treatment, and behind the scenes continue the search for BM donors in case we end up there in January. I am hoping this course of ATG and tacrolimus (this is the substitute for cyclosporin) will do the job without all the side effects. Time will tell. Remember to add a few extra prayers for Mac in your daily routine... miracles can happen. Thanks and I'll keep you posted.
