Getting better, slowly

Sorry I haven't blogged in a while. Since Leo's birthday, it's been a bit of a rollercoaster for him. He still had some nagging bug that was keeping his counts down to 3.1 or so, and it was very frustrating for us all. He's been coughing like crazy, but they did a scan and his lungs are clear, so they think he may just have a sinus infection of sorts. Given that he's already on several anti-biotics, they want to re-evaluate his meds to see if maybe there's something they can give him that would attack the sinus infection directly. Good news is, just this past Monday, his WBC went up to 4.9! Let's hope that count will stick and continue to rise. He also had another biopsy earlier this week, so the doctors can see what's going on in his marrow. We should get those results by next week.
The biggest problem is getting Leo to eat. He's pretty much not been eating for months. This week, he's trying little things here and there which is way better than the ensure a day diet he was on since back he was in the hospital. We just have to find the right foods for him to take.

Other than that, he's kept fever free and just continues to see his doctors every other day. So let's pray that things continue to get better.

Also, I am going to be scheduling a bunch of Donor Drives in the next month. If you are interested in volunteering this holiday season, please let me know as we will need a lot of extra hands. Also, if your church or organization would welcome a drive, please let me know and we can coordinate.
