We have done labs twice in the last 2 weeks because the counts were a bit low, and the second time they were stable... but still on the low side. So we are increasing the shot a bit more, and will be back in Memphis in 2 weeks. It's like I said before - taper, add back, taper, add back. This could go on for a while!
Here's a picture from the first day of Christian Brothers - Peter 5th and Mac 7th. It was pouring rain and early so the boys look kind of sleepy.
Mac has been doing well, all things considered. As I told the nurse at NO Children's Hospital (we raced over there durning Mac's lunch/recess) "We're trying to see how we can fit this catastrophic illness into our normal routine!" She was humored by that.
And here's a picture of Annie's first day at St. Matthew -1st grade!!! She's a big girl!
Thank you for keeping us in your prayers! More after our next Memphis trip!
Hi there team MacAttack! My husband forwarded me an email today about the football pool/fundraiser for St. Jude being held in Mac's honor. I was touched by the email and decided to google Mac's name to see if you guys had a site. How AWESOME it is to see him gearing up for a new school year! Our family will definitely be praying for yours and cheering you on as you raise awareness of Aplastic Anemia and funds for St. Jude!
