Engrafted!!!!
Sorry it has been a while since we have posted just been busy chasing James around....well if you read the title then you all now know James has engrafted!! He needed three days with his absolute neutrophil count to be above 500 and he blew those numbers away, which again the doctor was surprised with how fast it happened. What engrafted means is that the donors cells are coming in as the should and the donors marrow is working. There are a couple more milestones in the next couple of months that he will need to meet but engraftment is the most important because it either takes or it fails. To know that our little boy will have a new immune system in a couple af months is the most amazing thing in the world. The official day of engraftment is June 16, 2011, a day that we will never forget. James' new beginning!!! He has gotten a little better with taking his medicine...we are going to go broke from the rewards he is getting
(cars,trucks, balls) but we think of what he has been through in the last two years and we know how much he deserves it. Today we moved over to the new hospital....it is beautiful!! The view is much better than our old 2nd floor view (roof and pipes) now we are on the 7th floor and look at South Mountain. This has been a crazy two years. We had no idea what to expect coming into this bone marrow journey. It was one of the scariest times because everything they were going to do you had NO idea what reaction James was going to have. We want to thank each and every person for each and every prayer. There would be no way we could have gotten through ALL of this without you all. We are so lucky to have such amazing friends and families! We know this journey isn't over and we will still have some bumps along the way but we feel confident because we know how strong our little boy is. This Superman thing is no joke and I think he has proven that to all of us. We will keep you updated as the days go on and please always BELIEVE!!!!!!!!Dan, Sam, and James
