Update Week of April 26th

Andrew has been doing great at home doing out patient chemo and oral chemo at home. Yesterday he went to the zoo and loved it. The zoo is a big place so he rode in a stroller most of the time he can not walk all of that without getting to tired. Andrew said he saw bears, elephants which is what he really likes and tigers, Monkeys, and a giraffe. He has a great time He came home and took his nap but was awakened by not feeling well and it sent him back to hospital yesterday evening with a fever So as his levels are slowly going down and we need them to go up we pray for Andrew to get past this possible infection and his numbers to come back up.

Update for andrew

Recently most of you know Andrew got to come home for a bit before his last bone marrow aspiration. Andrew has been doing good and the last bone marrow aspiration showed that he had .01% blast left that puts him in mild remission and he still has to have two more months of treatments hopefully outpatient. That is still a reason in this situation to praise God!!!! Always pray and praise. The set back at the moment is earlier this week Andrew developed a high fever and it put him back in the hospital for a bit his immune system is up but he is battling an infection of some sort so Pray for that as well.

3 and 1/2 week update

Andrew is hanging in there like a trooper what a good sport he is. Chemo is still hard on Andrew and will be for a while currently the main chemo drug is causing Andrew to swell due to the steroid that is in the drugs and he has a very distended belly and face but he is still cute no matter what it does however make for a very uncomfortable experience and the appetite is starting to suffer some unless you are a bad of chips. I recently went and seen Andrew and as usual he decided to act like he was in a bad mood but warmed up eventually the best news in his book lately is that he lost his first tooth. The tooth fairy even managed to find him in the hospital that made it even better. When Andrew is feeling good he can do lots of things he can have private time in the big playroom not when others are there for he may get an infection but better than not playing at all. He also can take a walk in the roof top garden when he wants some fresh air. The best news when it comes to blood work is that Andrews anc blood levels went from 0 to 30 and then today was a big spike of 246 although he still has a long way to go to 17,000 he is starting to slowly get his immune system back again....PRAISE GOD!!!
