Another trip to Denver with a good outcome. Dillon's labs all came back stable and improved. His blood counts, his liver, his kidneys, everything is good. His CD4 count, which is a specific test of his immune system function, continues to rise slowly but surely. When the number gets to 400 he can stop wearing his mask.....which will be a HUGE milestone. The docs don't expect that to happen until September, when he is 1-year post transplant.
The belly has improved greatly. Dillon gained a couple of pounds in the past month and he has hardly any nausea and no vomiting....YIPPY.
Things are very stable and moving along as we expect. Dillon has been very active with basketball, swimming, and trampoline. This results in some soreness and cramping but those muscles are all getting stronger.
The rest of us are doing well also. Sean is working and I am holding down the fort. Mr. Luca is performing as a main character in his class play at the end of this week and he is SUPER excited.
We return to Denver on May 6....in the meantime....happy warm spring weather.
Glad to hear Dillon is on the continued path to health. I'm betting that the day he gets to get rid of the mask it will be a glorious day!! Marilyn
