Prayers Answered!!

Nothing short of a miracle!!!
I got the awesome news that Weston's labs are so improved that we don't have to go in for treatment next week!!!

I also owe everyone an apology. I misheard the medication he was to receive. Basiliximab not Retuximab. I heard "-ximab" and automatically assumed the "retu-". It's still NOTHING I want Bubby to get, but is used only as a heavy duty immunosuppressant in post-transplants. No cancer uses. I don't know why this makes me feel better, it just does. Regardless, no "-ximabs" for the Bubby!!

Thank you for all your prayers and positive energy. I am not telling lies when I say I could feel the calm wash over me. I'm not saying I wasn't totally freaking out; but I would get these moments of peace knowing that God was with us. Faith is an easy thing to say you have...but actually practicing having faith is a very difficult task, involving letting go of control. Not something I do very well...

So, here's our most recent miracle:

Bilirubin: 5.7 (down from 7.4)
AST 161
ALT 134 (down from 151)
GGT 1649 (down from 2167)

That's over 500 points!!! It's still hella high, but WOW! Sarah says its the lowest it's been since November.

We are so very excited and joyous!!! Thank you for every thought; every prayer; every crossed set of fingers; chicken sacrifice (hey, we don't judge!). We couldn't keep it together without our amazing support system!!

Enjoy your beautiful weekend!! We sure will!!!
