Well we had a lovey Christmas and New Year, and a quick trip to hospital for a line infection on the 6th to 8th Jan. So far all is good after a few IV doses of antibiotics, and some to give him for the next 7 days orally.
He is almost back to his old self - albeit a bit sleepy still.
He had some bloods done in hospital which showed his neutrophils had dropped slightly below normal ranges, and that his lymphocyte count ans white blood cell counts had dropped a little too. This seems to have normalised again which is positive and shows he was in fact fighting an infection. On a plus side he did not develop a temperature and his immunoglobulins are in normal ranges, despite the infection, so hopefully when we have the bone marrow transplant revew next week, we will see signs of improvement and hopefully get rid of the central line :) I will do my best to convince the Dr's so that Harrison can go swimming, and keep out of the toilet( where he loves to splash and play when I don't watch him carefully enough). Then of course we get the disinfecting of him and all the toilet surrounds, and hope and pray for no infection.
So that is it - very short and sweet. A huge thanks to Mum, Nikki & Bill for looking after the kids in my absence and for my day care mum Jodie who also stepped in and really got us out of a bind too.
next wednesday is BMT review and all the sorting of bloods will be done to test the progress of the 2 bone marrow transplants.
I will then update all the info re that and add a stack of photos and a vieo of Harrison down at Gosford Waterfront New Years Day.
Harrison is speaking very well now too - the latest is him pointing at the television and saying press play - whether or not the DVD is in to press play on, which is funy and cool that he is talking so well already.
