Day+8,9,10,11

Not much has been going on the past few days so I thought it pointless to post. Today (Day +11) Derek went to the hospital to get his blood tested to see how his white blood cells and red blood cell counts were. His stem cells have already engrafted in his body. On Thursday his counts were really really low which is where they should be. Today however they are super high. He is already recovering from the transplant. His platelet count was really low though so he got a transfusion of platelets. They also said he would lose his hair between Day 10 and Day 12. This is not the case. Yesterday we noticed his hair STOPPED falling out and now appears as if its growing. Bizarre. But that has been Derek through this whole thing. Derek is definately feeling better which is really nice. His appetiete is almost back to normal. Camden is doing great. Everytime I look at him he seems like he is getting bigger. He is trying to talk all the time, it is so cute. My boys are doing good and I couldn't ask for more.

We're still praying. It's good to hear good news even if it's in little doses. Keep up the good work!
