Great News!

We got good news today! His liver enzyme counts were near normal today so the doctors and us were relieved that what they thought 2 weeks ago is not true! And they do not have to extensive tests on his liver! His counts, white cell, red cell and platelets were good! So we discussed what to ask the eye doctor Friday when we see him. His eyes are still VERY dry and so is his mouth. Dr. Salzman said he might have that the rest of his life and that it was a side effect of the graft vs host disease. We will find out for sure if the disease is still in his eyes on Friday. We do not have to go back to the BMT unit until March 12th. We are so relieved! He will stay on the same dosage of cyclosporine until we go back on the 12th and of course stay on the same regimen the eye doctor prescribed until he says to come off them. God and time is on our side! As they said today he is not a year out from his transplant and he has progressed so fast! We know others that are going through some hard times with the same thing we went through so we say a little prayer each night for them. God bless you all too! Alyce
