Trey Update

Well, we are still at the hospital with Trey. His white blood cells up again to 50,000. It seemed like he had to have a major infection some where in his body, but he doesn’t. His body is fighting it’s self. His infectious disease specialist has gotten consults from several other pediatric specialists. We had good news that his bone marrow test proved that he did not have leukemia. His doctor’s have changed their diagnosis to Systemic Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis (Still’s disease). His fever was 107 on Friday night and then he didn’t have a fever at all last night. He had his best day since his illness today. His contact isolation was lifted, so we took him for a wagon ride and his appetite has begun to increase. We are crossing our fingers for two more fever free nights and then we may be able to go home! We appreciate everything that you all have done for us and especially for your prayers.
