Again ive been a bit slack at updating this blog - just been another rollercoaster of a week. Oliver has continued with the stomach cramps, so much so he went to hardly eating anything, so then we were worried he would have to go on TPN (Total parental nutrition) through his line, but after another dose of laxative, and another explosion, he has started eating again.
His white blood cell counts have fluctuated since my last update, and his full WCC count today is 0.96 and his neutraphils 0.45. The good news is that his HB (haemoglobin) has gone up and his platelets have held (44K, 45K, 46K) for three days!! We are holding onto our hats that this may be the start of an improvement but at this stage that can really fluctuate so will wait to see what tomorrow brings.
They should be testing him for engratfment this week so everything crossed.
The photo was taken on a good day

Dear Debbie, Dave and our little friend Oliver,
Oh what good news, our fingers are crossed for even better news soon. Its pleasing to hear he has began to eat again, we do miss you all very much! Also wondering how you and little baby are too.
Thinking of you always, Lots of love Tracey, Richard, Gigi, Philippa and olivia
Hiya all, caught up via Linda yesterday but glad to hear from you to say all is moving forward. Everything is crossed for the engraftment and looking good for the platelet counts. The picture is lovely and it just Oliver. I guess whilst they can keep the blockages at bay, TPN is off the menu. Watching, waiting and hoping all is well by the end of the week. Love to all Sue & Geoff
Dear All, I've only just noticed we can comment on here.. derr!!
Such a smiley photograph of a brave little boy, we're so proud of you Oliver.
Nice to read some good news, we've got fingers and toes crossed everyday that things will go well for you.
Can't wait for you all to come home soon, I miss your coffee and being treated like I've come home! Sonny misses his Auntie Deb too. We miss you all.

Hello my love, I am sorry I haven't posted a comment on hear before, I didn't realise that you could!!!
Today is June 5th and you have filled me in on all of the amazing up-to-date news on the phone earlier. I am missing you all so much and Harrison can't wait to see his brave little buddy when he's home & well enough for visitors. You are a wonderful strong family - it still amazes me that after all he has been through/going through, Oliver always finds time for the most fantastic smiles....he is an inspiration.
Sending you all bigs hugs and love, see you very soon, Louise Dirk & Harrison xxx
I love this photo. I hope the engraftment is good news!
