We got Mac's labs checked again at NO Children's hospital. His hemoglobin went up, the platelets went down and the ANC remained stable. As I said before, I can stress about all the tenths of points, which is why they look for TRENDS, not daily counts. And they said from the beginning that this is a slow wait & watch process. So overall things are fine, the trends are up, but as the mom, it's my duty to worry and stress about every point.
Mac, on the other hand, is not one bit stressed. He's happy to be home, happy with his friends and his gadgets, and happy his father can't make him mow the lawn...
We will continue the decrease in the shot, and go to St. Jude for a check up at the end of May. Thanks for checking in and praying. His counts are up, but still not in the "normal" range. So lets be really specific this week! Normal, normal, normal. And stay there!!
Will keep Mac in our prayers for normal counts as you head back to St. Jude. But come back home, it's good to have you all back in the Ridge! It's great to see Mac smiling.

Go marrow go!! Still praying for good counts and a full recovery. Have a great trip to Memphis and try to do something fun while you guys are there.
