New Year for Baby Carver

Carver's bottom got better overnight with the new cream and his own cell counts rising to 2160! In fact, today they talked for the first time about discharging Carver from the hospital. We think he still has 7-10 days here before then, but he gave me a big smile today when we talked about leaving. Also, we are done with the medicine that boosts his cells or helps him to engraft. Yesterday was Carver's last dose, so hopefully he will be less sore and achy now. Overall, I feel like we are on the mend and able to relax more and console Carver less. His pain level seems to be better, too. If you get a chance check out his article at http://www.kansascitystar.com/. Happy New Year!

It is so fantastic how wonderful Carver is doing! Sounds like you will be getting to leave the hospital reallly soon. Then will you stay at the Ronnie Mac house for awhile, or be able to go home to Bolivar?
Was so good to get to see you both last week. Love yall and will continue to keep you in our prayers constantly. Still hearing that song 'There's Power in the Blood'!!!
