What a month! Rocky has been a busy boy. After spending some of it in hospital, it kind of erased our memories to check for the latest T Cell count. But he's been growin' em alright!
Sept 30 test it was 13.3% then has increased alot to 18% for the November test. This is so exciting!!! Every now and then we wonder if Rocky will really be ready to hit the world at 2 yrs post transplant next March, there are no guarantees, but news like this really lifts our hopes!
Dr Markert said she was particularly happy that the 'bad' T Cells had dropped significantly in numbers in the last few months. She said she'll feel alot better when his T Cells respond better to the tetanus immunisation. Rocky had his 2nd tetanus injection last week and now we are just waiting for a few weeks before they test his response again.
In the meantime, I literally feel him getting heavier every time I pick him up, even pushing him in the pram he feels heavier. He's growing nicely up into the 80+ cm's and just eats non stop. He needs a lot of sustainence because he also dances non stop to Hi-5, it's very cute watching him try to keep up with all the actions (I tried doing it today and I couldn't either LOL what a sight!!)Rocky thought it was great, laughing too. I have not discounted the possiblity he was actually laughing AT me. And although he is not talking yet, he is singing along , making heaps of noise in his own way, to all the songs.
He's signing for help now which makes things alot better when he can't do something and wants us to give him a hand....and so much less frustrating for him. Other than that he really is enjoying a bit of cooking, moving chairs up to the stove to help me at every opportunity. Today he was cooking a mixing bowl full of pegs. Mmmm...tasty.
Every time we get good results I am reminded of the miracle that has happened to our baby. Have a great weekend. xo
