Update..

Well still we have no news yet about Eric's possible Graft Vs. Host on his legs... we are not suppose to have the results until 1/7/10 (next week). This week has been a little better than last week, Eric has felt a little better I think due to he has slowed down and been able to take naps in the days again. He really needs those to get through the day.

His home health nurse came and did his labs today... his creatinine has done better from alot of fluids and doing the IV treatments each day for 6 hours- it went down to 1.6. Alot better they would like it no more than 1.5. His white cells are doing ok hanging in there at 3.1 and his absolute neutrophils at 2.10 border line there. His red cells are pretty good at 3.24, hemoglobin 11.5 those are good. He has not needed a blood transfusion or platelet for a while- YAY!!!

His platelets are good they went up finally on their own up to 61 which is wonderful since those have been scaring us and were in the 30's again. They thought that chemo he had to do Rutuxian for the EBV virus threw those and his white cells off. All in all a pretty good week so far, we will take it! Eric has been able to rest alot, just having the Christmas holidays home with his family visiting him at home. We are so grateful to be home and have Eric responding right now, we are blessed and thankful for his donor- we can not wait to meet him!!

News Year's is coming up and I really have to say I am looking forward to a New Year! I hope this year is filled with good things, more time with Eric and our family, less health concerns and more blessings! I hope this year brings better things then the past 2 years!
