Hello everyone. Thanks for your continued concern and prayers. Michael has not been as awake this last week. We are continuing to hope and pray it is because his body is so busy making new blood cells that it does not have the energy to wake up as well--and hopefully he can start waking up soon.
Also, in the last two days, Michael has had what appears to be seizure activity again. The doctors stopped a drug he had been on about 12 days ago that they thought was responsible for his bone marrow being depressed and when it was stopped is when his red and especially white blood cells started producing a lot more (plus there were a lot of prayers for Mike). Yesterday, they stopped a drug he was on to help wake him up that may have been causing these new seizures. So we will have to wait and see.
The drug stopped yesterday may also have been causing an increase in his heart rate and blood pressure, which are lower today. So we will have to wait and see if this drug was effecting these as well.
We can't thank you enough for all of your prayers. We appreciate so much your prayers to help his body make the healthy blood cells he needs--white and red cells and platelets. And thank you for prayers to protect him from infection and from Graft vs Host Disease. And thank you for your prayers to help Michael wake up and move and no more seizures.
We cherish all of your prayers, positive thoughts and visualizations for Michael's recovery.
Thank you so much!!
The Iowa State football game is on in Michael's room now. Aunt Glenda and Uncle Lyle and James and many other friends are cheering on the Cyclones for Michael (as well as the Triangle on the bench).
