My Little Buddy....................

From Gage's Mom:
Good news, Gage's bone marrow is "empty"! They were able to count 200 cells and none of them have the translocation! Thank you Lord and Thank You everyone for your prayers! This biopsy does not indicate Gage's remission status ... that will have to wait until the next biopsy scheduled for Feb. 5th in Seattle.
So, the plan is to head to Seattle on Jan. 31st, the "work up" period (tests) will start Feb. 1st, the transplant date is Feb. 17th.
The doctors think there is a good chance Gage's ANC will reach 200 this week and we will be able to go home!!!
*********************
The white cell count is 0.5 today!!! This is indicating a definate upward trend! How far do we have to go? The docs look at the ANC which is the Neutrophil count. Gage's ANC is 120 today and docs want to see 200 before they consider sending patients home. The fact that Gage has Neutrophils is good news!
I know all of those prayers out there are helping! Our day is just starting so not much to report. Gage is watching cartoons and we are going through the daily battle of food intake. His weight goes up and down, but we need to maintain it to keep him strong for transplant.
I will plug in the biopsy update later today. We won't be meeting with the doctors until 5pm.

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs
Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.

Hoping he gets some normal "little boy life" out of this.
His life has been sickness, hospitals, and treatments. Its just NOT FUCKING FAIR!
You wouldn't know it looking at his little mug though.
