I know Elizabeth didn't get to post this weekend, but as she is on her to Boston for another routine appointment with Dr. Soiffer, I wanted to just update you on my mysterious post from Friday and on the comparatively good week she had.

• Most importantly, the IVIG treatment seems to have been working, so her various blood counts rose throughout the week. For those of you who remember the "at least I'm not bleeding in my head" blog, this is a very encouraging thing! Although she is not yet in the "normal" range, we do pray her counts continue to improve and bring her back within a safe margin.
• In addition, she ventured out of the house a couple of times last week (with gloves and mask) and even entertained various guests at home, and seems to be warding off the germs of the world, so that is positive as well.
• Lastly, her doctors seem to have balanced out her meds, so they are not making her sick...either that or she has developed a stomach of steel that can take it. Regardless, nausea and related ailments were not really a factor this week.

So: Thank you, thank you, thank you for the prayers! Say one of those prayers when you get a chance: Thank you God! And keep them coming, as we approach the 75 day mark (that's 3/4 of the way to lifting some of the restrictions and a PET scan!).
