Doing well...

Just wanted to let you know that Leo's been doing better. He's still pretty tired, but is so much happier to be resting here at home with his family instead of at the hospital. He's got a whole lot of medication going on, with the 30+ pill in a day, one suspension and 2 IV antibiotics a day, it's a job in itself to keep track of it all. He needed a platelet transfusion on Wednesday and a blood and platelet transfusion earlier today, so he's still having them pretty frequently. He also had a bone marrow biopsy on Wednesday to see what his progress is. The doctor told us today that the good news is that the CML is no longer showing in his marrow, but for some reason the "thing" (sorry forgot the term...megakerosytes, maybe?) that produces his platelets are not yet present, which is why he's getting so many transfusions. They expected to see these "things" in his marrow by now, which would be a good sign that the cord blood has taken, but say it's not unusual that they haven't showed up yet, so they're not too concerned. The other good news is that the nasty cough that he couldn't get rid of in the hospital seems to be gone now, which is great. Baby steps...

We'll be home all weekend enjoying the nice weather and some Easter activities with the girls. I'll be sure to have pictures to share with you all on my Facebook. May you and all your families have a wonderful Easter! Take care!
