Day 75: Surprising News!

Following our discharge on Sunday Cristian has been enjoying himself with all the comforts of home. His toys, his comfy relaxation spots, even his little sister have all been a welcome change. He is active and even a little hungry, he had a milkshake today! It’s really great to see.

As part of his discharge there was a need for continued monitoring to ensure he does not have any infections in his system. To check for this, we have gone back to the hospital each morning for a quick blood draw. Today we heard from the Dr that his Neutrophil levels (his bodies ability to fight off an infection) have more than doubled what they were in the hospital! This is amazing news and we can only give credit to God for this rapid improvement. Because of his drastic recovery he no longer needs to come in for frequent blood draws, or take his twice daily antibiotics. Talk about a sigh of relief and jumping for joy. Maria was literally running around the house yelling she was so happy.

The is afternoon Cristian asked to go outside and explore for a bit. Day by day he is getting stronger.

Thank you to everyone for all the prayers and support, they really do work! Please don’t stop as we are asking God for a fully recovery prior to the prescribed 3 year treatment plan.
