A Glimmer of Hope



I think we are overdue to share a few pictures.  I hope you enjoy them but this post is not about the pictures.  We have a BIG prayer request.  As many of you already know Granton's B cells have not worked.  To compensate for this he has received IVIG every basically every Sunday since he came home from the hospital.  Doctors have offered the choice of going through another transplant.  There are many risks and a lot of pain, physical for Granton and emotional for everyone, involved with another transplant.  Granton does not want another transplant and we have chosen against it unless something changes.  Granton still has to have test done periodically.  On his test, the results showed higher than expected levels of immunoglobulins.  This may not mean anything but more test or, as the doctor said, "there's a glimmer of hope" that it means his B cells are starting to work!  Doctors are very quick to say this is a slim chance.  But in the past we have been told there is no chance of this.  Most anyone who reads this blog knows the unbelievable walking, and running, miracle Granton.  We know God can make another miracle happen with the B cells.  He is in total control and we are trusting in him.  Once again I am asking for prayer for my son.  Please join us with this request when you talk to our Father.  Thank you so much for all the support you have given our family.  Also, I hope you enjoy the pictures.
