And keep them coming! Liam is doing well with his recent transplant. I wanted to give you an update and ask that you keep thinking of him well he continues to heal.
Can't believe that today is Wednesday. The last four days have been full of tests, and more tests. On Saturday after the stem cell transplant Liam acquired a high fever, which in turn lowered his blood pressure to a level that was concerning. He (we) had a long long night. On Sunday morning his fever finally broke, and he has been improving slowly every day. They made the diagnosis of staph infection in his blood. Thank God for modern medicine and their wide aray of antibiotics. He is finally able to eat some real food and keep it in his stomach. His goals for today are to continue to eat on a regular basis, walk the halls at least once, and to wean himself off of his oxygen. Each day is bettter, but the marathon that Dr. Matous talked about has definetly begun.
We ask for your continued prayers as Liam continues to get through each "bump in the road" as he calls them.
We are thankful for our family that have been able to come and take the load off. We love you for taking time out of your busy lives to help out.

thanks for the update
