Day +16 - April 10, 2006

Jack definitely is feeling much better since the seizure and all the sedation and seizure medication. He seems to be getting back to his normal routine. He's still not eating but he's getting his necessary nutrition from the TPN. He's back to coloring and painting and wanting to play.

The only thing different is the doctors decided to start Jack on "Neupogen" (GCSF) shots, which is a hormonal drug used to help stir up the new bone marrow cells. Being that Jack had Bone Marrow opposed to Stem Cells it does take slightly longer to engraph so the doctors decided it would be good to give him a little boost, especially since Jack has fluid issues and platelets are last to come back. So, we now have, knocking on wood, prayers and a boost lets hope they all start engraphment.
