Another quick update

Just another update from today. The doctor called just to make sure we heard Trenton's count, and to see if we had any questions. This guy is super cool. He said it's completely normal to go so up and down, not that it doesn't suck! He said he was really hoping that we would never have to see him again. I told him I was hoping the same, but that he shouldn't take it personally. He said he hears that a lot.

He still doesn't want to do any other treatments unless Trenton's counts dips way down again and stays there. So it seems he's still optimistic that Trenton might just make himself better. So that made me feel a little better. (Better to the point that I could make it through the rest of the work day).

I'm still feeling pretty defeated. I was just so ready to put this all behind us and move on. But I asked Trenton today if he could work on making more platelets and he let out a very enthusiastic "yea!" so, we'll see.

Crushed

Trenton's count is back down again, to 17,000. I really tried to prepare myself for this, thinking the rise in counts was really too good to be true. But we were still trying to hold on to that hope as well.

I haven't spoken with the doctor yet, so not sure what the next step is. We'll pass it along.

Thanks for all the prayers, Tyler and I need 'em!

Hoping

I am taking Trenton to get another blood draw in a few minutes. He's still been doing really well, although I have noticed a few more bruises. But he bounces all over this place, so it's probably normal!

I will try to update as soon as I can!

Almost there!

I've have been waiting so long to say that Trenton is on his way to recovery!! We got his blood checked last Friday and his counts have more than doubled at 93,000! Tyler and I feel like this huge burden has been lifted, and finally feel that we can celebrate. The doctor even called us later on Friday to see if we had any questions and seemed very excited.

Thank you to everyone who has been so supportive through this whole thing. We have certainly felt all the love! I will continue to update as normal counts are between 150,000-450,000. But we are almost there!

I'll post some pictures later of our amazing camping trip. Trenton is absolutely a camping boy. He did so well and had so much fun. And I didn't have to freak out about him having little falls!!

Thanks again to everyone,
