What a month! Rocky turns 3 on Monday 20th and we have had enormous joy so far helping him celebrate! How wonderful that his Aunty Priscilla is here from Canada to help us celebrate (although, sadly, not his beloved Uncle Petey - but we will make up for it in October!) and we also head home to Queensland next week to celebrate with everyone there. Can't wait. It's also my Dad's 60th on the 21st, which will be very special.
News, news, news! Where do I start? Today Rocky had his first ever birthday party with some of our dear friends. It was lots of fun and quite emotional for Brett and I! It seems incredible sometimes, just how far we've come. But we are so 'there!' And how lucky to have such wonderful friends and family to celebrate with!
Last week Rocky was tested to see if he was making his own B Cells (antibodies - which is what IVIg basically is) He is! Can you believe that?? He is making his own - This is just SO fantastic. To cut a long story short, and I'm not even sure I understand the whole process, B Cells need T Cells to either produce or work properly. So now he has the T Cells, the B Cells are coming to the party. The next step is to see if they can work as well ie. Can they party hard?? LOL
We are waiting on confirmation from RCH on the plan forward, but please keep your fingers crossed that Rocky's B Cells are in nice working order! If this is the case, I think he comes off the IVIg. YAY!! Oh yeah, it's SO good to have some progress!
Other than that, Rocky has just been testing the boundaries, like every other cheeky 3 year old. And I, his mere mother, have tried not to laugh at the very many funny, but inappropriate cheeky acts (such as poking out his tongue at me). The one thing I know is I completely underestimate how much he has my number! Sometimes, I give him the benefit of the doubt, but he has it totally worked out!
With Lots of Love xoxoxoxo
