Miracle for Michael

Michael came home on Tuesday evening and is still undergoing his home treatments as well as going to CHOP a couple time a week. It has been very hard and a big adjustment. Michael has to be given a shoots in the morning and at night as well as several pills throughout the day. He is still receiving blood transfusions a couple times a week. Michael has also been experiencing side effects to many of his medications and as a result has been in a great deal of pain.

On Friday, Michael was seen at CHOP for a treatment and we were notified that his blood counts were very low and they would continue to closely monitor him. He came home and hours later was doing worse and had a fever. Stacey and Doug took him back to CHOP and they admitted him again. He had a very very rough night and was in a lot of pain. The doctors told Doug and Stacey that this in and out of the hospital would unfortunately probably become the norm for them for a while. It could be months before they know whether or not the treatments are working.


The doctors have also said that he is NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE ANY VISITORS AT ALL!!!! This is very important for him, because of his low blood counts and fever.
