January was very busy for us and passed so quickly! Mac did labs at NO Children's Hospital in the middle of the month, and everything was down a bit. Then we went to Memphis at the end of the month, and counts were up a bit. The roller coaster ride continues! I get worried that everytime they're down we're going to hear the Bone Marrow Transplant enter the picture again, but so far, that hasn't happened. We have heard more than once "the bone marrow takes a long time to recover." So it's the status quo for now, as far as medicines are concerned. This is definitely a test of our patience!!

Hope you are all doing well and surviving the cold weather if you are affected. Down here, it's Carnival time! King cakes, parade plans... It's a fun time to be in New Orleans!

That's about it for now. Thanks for checking in and praying for Mac and his sluggish bone marrow!
