Finally!!!

We finally got our bone marrow results back from the 100 day post transplant workup.  And we could not be happier with the way things came back!  His chimerism in his marrow and blood was at 100%, meaning 100% of his bone marrow is now Cole's.  There were NO leukemia cells present.  And his bacteria fighting cells (can't remember the name, so if anyone knows, let me know!) were at 60%.  A normal child's are usually at 70-80%.  Our doctor told us this is the highest she has ever seen in a child this soon after transplant!  SO. SO. SO. Excited.   His central line is coming out on thursday, which he has been dancing around about all afternoon.  His ANC was at 2600.  Magnesium levels were normal, kidney functioning normal.  The only slight concern is his liver still.  It's functioning level is still a little low, but we will just continue to watch it closely.  Can you believe it?!  We are still on cloud nine about how good the results came back.  Thank you so much for all the prayers that are continually sent his way.  Every night in his prayers he says the same thing.  "thank you for all of the blessings that we have received throughout this very difficult journey, and please allow us to continue to receive those blessings."  Pretty sure he is a 25 year old in a nine year old's body sometimes.  But it is so true.  The blessings continue to pour in on a daily basis and I know a lot of it is because of the prayers and thoughts and generosity of all those that surround us.  It has been a very humbling and long year.  I am sure this kiddo will keep on fighting until we can fight no more.  Love him.  Love his quirky personality.  Love his stubbornness.  He does not give up on anything.  Especially on something that he wants.  And he has wanted more than anything to put this behind him.   We are another step closer and on our way! Congrats Jake!  xoxoxo
