It was a pretty uneventful week for us here! Mac's lab trends continue to move up, and he has been weaned from the fluids and his blood pressure medicine. There is talk of us possibly going home soon! He can continue taking his medicine (we're down to 2 oral & 1 shot) and get his labs checked at the Baton Rouge affiliate or even NO Children's Hospital. Then we would come back to Memphis monthly to have a check up. We're definitely here for a couple more weeks as we continue to watch his counts and work out the details of HOME! I am starting to look into the homebound student program, so he can finish the 6th grade from home! Our hope is that his bone marrow is recovered and he is off the medicines in time to go to school next fall. We'll see... one day at a time!

Things are definitely going in a positive direction right now, let's pray it continues and the BMT continues to move out of the picture! Thanks for checking in, keeping us in your prayers, and to many of you, SEE you soon!
