On the Rise!

I got an e-mail from the doctor this morning saying that Trenton's platelet count has gone up to 26,000!!! It hasn't been this high since December. He hasn't been on any medications, which means they are rising on their own. This is exactly what the doctor was hoping for, well, what ALL of us were hoping for!

Tyler and I are somewhat nervous to be so excited, afraid that this is only temporary. We wonder if maybe the pneumonia made his little system take the focus off the platelets, and fight another infection. I just hope it stays that way.

But we are really trying to stay positive, and just keep praying that the numbers continue to rise.

Trenton got wonderful prescriptions from his Dr.'s Naomi, Caleb and Pete deRidder - so maybe those will keep him strong!
