Shawn the human pin cushion

Hello everyone~!

Well, it looks as though your prayers worked today! Shawn's platelet count jumped to 67,000 today! Praise the Lord! And the radiologist did the lumbar puncture with no complications and Shawn didn't feel a thing!!! How awesome is God!!!!!

Aside from being totally exhausted from having to get up at 4:30am to arrive at Hopkins by 7:30am, all is well. We are just praying that he doesn't have any bad side effects today from this treatment. (severe headache) The doctor said drink caffeine and lots of fluids.

We got a prescription for his next Nulasta shot which I get to give him on Thanksgivng day!
Next trip to JH is next Wednesday!

Thanks for the prayers!
Love to all,
Jessie
