Joshua's counts are coming up, up, up! We really couldn't be any happier with his recovery! His platelet count is finally in the normal range! I asked his doctor if he could have his Hickman removed soon, but it has to stay in as a precaution. It will probably come out around Day +100. The doctors also commented about how fast Joshua's hair is growing in. His eye brows are growing in black! It's a side-effect of the Cyclosporin. That drug is also causing him to have high blood pressure and can make your blood sugars rise (randomly?) which can make you grouchy. I'm not sure if Joshua's moods are being affected, 2 year olds are pretty moody anyway!
We have some big things coming up this next week! Stay tuned...
