Hello everyone and thank you all for your prayers and concern. Michael is waking up more at times. He is opening his eyes, and is trying to figure out what he is seeing. Yesterday he gave a big thumbs up to the nurse. But most of the time he does not follow commands and when he does move to commands it is a small motion.
We have found out some information about the Bone Marrow Aspiration which was done last week. Between consultation with the Oncologist, Dr Davidner, here and the Stem Cell Transplant Doctor, Dr Bashir in Houston, they have determined about the bone marrow is that he does: have the donor's bone marrow, he has no lymphoma and he has no Graft vs Host Disease. These are all good findings. However, we still do not know when the function of the bone marrow will return to producing red blood cells, platelets and more white blood cells. His infections and some of his antibiotics could have suppressed this some.
With the help of beta blockers and more dialysis (which we are still hoping and praying is temporary), Michael's blood pressure and heart rate are better.
Our prayer concerns continue to be for Michael to wake up and to start moving more, to avoid infection, to keep his heart and lungs strong, and to stay close to God in his thoughts.
We thank you all for your support and concern and prayers. Every visit, meal and prayer has been a blessing to us!! We appreciate everything so much!!
