Encouragement

Tyler has been a little bit down since coming home. He's discouraged that he isn't able to sleep easily and that he isn't feeling better day to day. I'm hopeful that his health will continue to make the great strides he's been making and that he will feel more like himself soon.

At his appointment today, the doctors today said that Tyler is no longer considered neutropenic (the term for having too few neutrophils to fight off infections) and can stop taking some of his antibiotics. I don't have all of the details, but it sounds like he has more white blood cells than he did on Sunday and NONE of them are blast cells. We love it when the leukemia stays well under control!

Please pray that Tyler can be encouraged by his improvements and that he will see a noticeable difference as his body repairs itself.
