B cells...

Well we finally got a report on Granton’s B cells today. The news was not exactly what we were looking for. He only had 16% donor B cells. We were really looking for more. From what I can understand, his B cells only work a little bit. This means we will still have to give him IVIG. We will keep praying for this part of his immune system to work better. He does have a much better immune system than before but it is still compromised. We will be careful with him especially in the winter time with H1N1 and everything else drifting around. On a brighter note, Jenni tried to explain some other numbers that were new to me were not great were not bad either. I know that does not help much, but I could not process the new information over the phone with everything going on. They did notice how good he looked and he was very excited to get a birthday cake and balloon from all his friends at the hospital. Jenni did scare me after she was sharing all the med. stuff on Granton. She said, “Daniel, I have some more bad news.” To which my hart sank, then she told me that she accidentally erased all the pictures on our camera. It is amazing how a medical checkup with Granton can put things in perspective. At that point, I couldn’t care less about some pictures. What I am focusing on now is a little boy who feels and looks great and has parents who love him very much. We will keep doing all we can to keep him safe and trust in the Lord for his well being.
