Granton sees his buddies
Granton had a great time at his appointment today seeing all his buddies. Believe it or not we actually tried to come up with an excuse to stay at Ronnie Mac overnight since Mickey Mouse is making a big appearance tomorrow at Children's Mercy. Never thought I'd be thinking that way, but it's nice for a change anyway! Our only setback was missing Dr. Dalal (Granton started saying his name as soon as he saw Kansas City) and Celia. :) As for his labs everything looked great except for one number that indicated he needed to be more hydrated. But, his blood was coming out real slow today and the iv about blew and his blood was starting to clot. So, we think that the result might have been because of a poor test. Granton will have labs drawn again in a month just to be on the safe side and make sure his kidney is functioning fine and the doctors seem to think it is. Other than that we will find out how his adrenal system function is on April 1st. If it is completely back to normal Granton won't have to have any stress dosing of steroids when he is sick because, obviously, his body will take care of that on its own. Also, we are waiting for the big test result to come back that will tell us whether or not his donor B-cells have come back or not. Remember, we had to destroy them when he was so anemic last year. We will find this news out in about 2 weeks or so since the cell separation test will be done in Seattle. Ok. I think that's all for now. Kaylynn did great and had fun playing with St. Patty's Day balloons and smearing cookie all over her mom. Have a great night!Jenni
