Eli's ANC is coming up soooo slowly!! The doctors were concerned about it and so Eli got a bone marrow aspirate today to rule out relapse. Needless to say, I did not get a whole lot of sleep last night and I am a bit tired today. So they didn't take my poor baby until after 12 noon.....I was fit to be tied!!! He couldn't eat or drink the entire time....the problem is that that is all we can do here.....ANYWAY....the test came out OK so far. The dr looked under the microscope and said that everything looked fine, but we will get the "official" results tomorrow.

If there is no relapse we are looking at some type of infection....so we will wait.

The boys started all of thier sports on Tuesday and my mom was such a sport (no pun intended) about getting them ready for everything. I really don't know what I would do without her.

I am on the computer at the nurses station, so I need to make it quick. Thanks for all of your prayers and thanks for checking in.

I am thankful that Eli has not relapsed and we can continue our treatment.
