Michael had some of his labs came back. His white blood cell have come back up but still not normal. His red blood cells are going up but it is not normal yet either. His platelets are now within the normal range. We still are waiting for Michael's immunity to come back to normal. It has gone from 700 to 1000. Normal is 2300 to 9800, so again a couple more weeks out of church and in the house. We are still waiting for his AFP (the test that tells us his cancer cells). This is the test that we are very nerve about. Michael's last chemo was December 10th. This number hopefully will be normal and close to the U of M number. St. Joseph is now doing this test for us so we do not have to drive to Ann Arbor. Keep praying that no cancer grows. The first 18 months of not having chemo is the best chance of the cancer coming back. Our first goal is to get him to April and the official remission. Then to get him to the 18 months goal, then each year after until he is 7 1/2 or 8 years old. That would mean he would be considered cured.
