C'mon Aussie, c'mon

Let's not talk about cricket ....
Actually, trying to encourage the Aussie team to fight back.
It's looking like Andrew's immune system is putting up a good fight and we want Grant's to fight back.
At yesterday's visit they couldn't deem much from the BMB results because they were inconclusive ... weren't able to harvest enough marrow due to scar tissue. They did take a small piece of bone and hoping to get some test results from that soon. Lab results however were not so encouraging. Once again, Andrew is very anemic so waiting for them to call to arrange a time to go back in for a top up. This is now a "trend" .. indicating that Andrew's antibodies are fighting the graft ... and even though it is a whacky immune system, it appears it is a mighty strong one. Platelet count also took a dive but nothing conclusive about that one until it shows a definite trend. Apart from the fatigue, Andrew is feeling good, doing some "fun" computer programming, drove the car for the first time in months, has a walk to the park most days and great appetite (with the 100 days up, was able to enjoy some very delicious homemade Xmas cookies, Xmas dinner with all the trimmings etc.)
