White Count on the Rise

Excellent news today, as Andrew's white count has begun its climb! Now we can expect the numbers to ping pong around a bit on the rise up, but the fact that there has been an initial jump indicates that the stem cells have taken hold. Also, as his white count increases, the sores in his mouth and throat will begin to heal and Andrew's appetite and desire to swallow should return. There are still several hurdles to overcome, but that light at the end of this tunnel is starting to get brighter.

Go Andrew!!!!!
