Sorry I have not posted an update,we have been a little busy.
Tyler has been doing pretty well. Friday we went to Toledo to Toledo childrens hospital for blood work. Everything looked pretty good. His plalets went up, hemoglobin-up, white cells and ANC (3,470) all up. We did find out also that his first PET CT showed no sign of recurrence of his disease. This is great but it is still early.

Monday we went back to TCH and platlets were down a little,hemoglobin - up a little, but white cells are down from 5.0 to 3.9, and ANC down to 2,700. Boy up and down it's hard to keep up. So far he seems to be fine in his range but I have to wonder why in a couple of days his cells change so much. But it is probably normal.
They keep reminding us he is still early out of transplant (48 days) and things can still bounce around.
It is so hard to understand that he is not "out of the woods" yet, being he looks so great and seems to be doing very well for someone going through so much.

Here are some web sites that tell more about Tyler's ordeal if anyone would like more info.
