Today marks day 18 since he was given 2 weeks to live. He has done much better these last couple days. He has been doing a lot more eating and drinking and has been able to keep it all down. Not exactly sure what to think of this. It’s [...]

Not a whole lot has changed with Conner. He continues to eat basically nothing and its showing. He’s skin and bones. If he takes to big of drink he throws it up, due to the lack of room in his stomach. Which is funny because I told him just to [...]

Once again its been a while since the last update. Other than day to day life at our funny farm, not much has really changed that we are aware of. On the 19th they once again recommended against a transplant. Conner’s blood counts were better than expected, but still aren’t good. [...]

I’m a little late. We have company again and I hadn’t posted the final results of the marrow. It is basically the same as the previous one, 12-15%. All the bad cells are now monosomy 7 where in past months it had only been half. So not real good news [...]
