Updates on AVERY. (good news update pg 33 post 489!)

TruBlu...what a little sweetie your Cam is!!

Hi Nancy, nice to "see" you and thank you!

And to all the rest of you too of course.

I think we are in a "no news is good news" phase but DIL said today the docs keep saying he will be "sicker" as the white blood cells multiply and swarm to attack all the bad guys. I'm going to take the attitude that they keep giving very very worst case scenarios and send even more prayers and positive energy out for his recovery!!

Hi Ann,
I have a message for your from DS5 (he is sitting beside me dictating)....
I love Avery, and I'm going to pray for him every day! I want him to be really, really happy. I hope he will be better soon. And I think he would like this

Love,
Cam

WE'RE STILL PRAYING!!!!!

Oh my goodness this has me in tears. What a sweet boy.

Still praying Ann.

Just want to let you knoe I am still praying for Avery, his parents, sisters, aunts/uncles and of course grandparents. What a rollercoaster for all of you hope you feel all the positive energy and peace that the people on this thread are sending you. There are many here who pray and never (or rarely) post ..... Keep up your strength, hope and faith.

I also pray everytime for your granddaughters, I know how scary this is for ALL the children in the family. Positive thoughts beaming up north to all of you!

Hugs to Avery and family, hope he had a decent night and there are some more improvements coming his way..

Keeping the prayers coming..

Just checking in again. More prayers for strength and to take away pain headed that direction. Hope he was able to rest last night. Our little warrior needs rest to fight the good fight. Update us as you are able.

How is the move going? It's good that you can do it in bits and pieces, but I know that has to be added stress. Take good care of yourself.

 

[NHAnn]

Thank you all!

It has been another quiet (quiet is good) day so far. Another fairly restful night last night.... No unexpected developments. Higher white blood cells have resulted in increased swelling and a little more pain reaction but with pain meds and fluid management measures it sounds like they are on top of this. DS and DIL have instituted an incentive program giving chocolate to doctors with good news and expanded that to include chocolate for dcotors with no BAD news. Comforting to see that they are maintaining grace and humor in such difficult circumstances.

If the next few days result , he can continue fighting the infection and there are no unxpected setbacks, the doctors sound like they will admit to the possibility of real recovery so that we can get back to the business of leukemia fighting!

Gotta keep the faith

We accomplished a good amount over the weekend and DH has arranged for cable (TV and internet) installation later this week. I told him I am not going anywhere until I have my internet

How is Avery today? Continued prayers being sent your way!!! Glad to hear your S & DIL are keeping their spirits up... I can't imagine how difficult this must be for them... my heart goes out to them for sure. They are blessed to have you though Ann... Continue to keep us posted ~ we're all praying for his continued recovery and cure! GOD bless!

 

[NHAnn]

Avery had a little fever overnight but it was gone with old-fashioned blanket removal and cool cloths...no tylenol needed even. Some med adjustment going on that caused it they think. Avery's hair has started to fall out....methinks this is going to bother parents more than Avery initially...but DIL has announced a "best hat" contest for when Avery gets out of the woods and back to fighting the leukemia.
This morning's great news is that the last blood sample for the yeast infection has grown nothing in 48 hours. Before this, it was growing in less than 30. This means at LEAST it is slowing down...again the right direction.
Other lab numbers are showing improvement or holding steady as well...more good news!

I am so thankful for the prayers and positive energy being sent to my brave guy....

 

[gemjoy]

Thanks so much for the update! That is great news about the blood sample!!!! Looks like you've got a little fighter on your hands! And what a great idea your DIL had about the hat contest... I'm betting he'll find that fun ~ and I'm sure everyone will be wearing silly hats. Keep the good news coming Ann! We're pulling for little Avery! GOD bless.

 

[Mackey Mouse]

Well that is good news tonight..

I just read this to Katholyn, Nativetxn, who called from Texas and she wanted to tell you, Ann, that you have her good thoughts and prayers and so does Avery...

From me, more prayers, and hugs to you... sounds like we are going in the right direction...

 

[goofy4tink]

So glad to hear some tests are coming out with good results. Hang in there Anne...there are a lot of prayers being said for Avery and his family. We'll all be praying for you guys for the long run.

 

[NHAnn]

great report on Avery's infection fighting neutrafils...a great increase, and his swelling is ever so slightly decreasing.....still waiting to see if any yeast in the last culture ...but another day of little improvements and no major setbacks!!

 

[Mackey Mouse]

Sounds great Ann... way to go Avery....keep fighting and we will handle the praying...

Hugs to you Ann!!!!
