Friday, March 14, 2008

love this kind of update :):)

our monthly appointments have been going just great!
gabey's counts have been just where they want them, and we have no restrictions!! PTL!!

yesterday's appointment went just great. we got to fill out our Make a Wish form!!
we'll hear from them in a few months, and they'll come to the house to talk to gabey, and help him make a WISH!!! wOOHOOOOOOO!!

Prayer Requests

We've started Maintenance. It will be ongoing for the rest of the 3 years of his treatment.
It's much more laid back, and Gabey will be able to get back to living a much more normal life.
The doctors said for us to just go ahead and start going out, and doing the things we need to do. Gabey will start Sunday school again, and we'll be starting going to the store and restaurants again. They said that we can't really worry too much about his counts because we won't know what they are except once a month.

We need to keep praying for his counts to be consistantly above 1000, the nurse said that was their goal for him, so they would be adjusting his doses to keep his counts in a good range.

We still need to pray against fevers and infections, so Gabey can stay away from the hospital.
