Another record...BROKEN!

Oliver broke yesterday's record with 126,000 platelets today! He is stable and doing so good that the doctors have decided to start weaning his chemo. This means he doesn't have any chemotherapy or steroids for two weeks. We are very excited to get such a break from all the medication, and at the same time nervous because this is the true test of whether or not he will need a bone marrow transplant. If his disease is genetic it will flare up with the lack of chemo treatment, if it was infectious, it should be cured and all of his numbers should stay in the normal range. As of right now the only reason he still has to be in the hospital is because he is on the high flow to help him breathe. We can't go home with high flow, and the only thing stopping him from breathing is his liver taking up all the room in his belly! He's doing well and we are so pleased!!! Thank you everyone for keeping us, and especially little Oliver in your thoughts and prayers!
