Great News!

Normally, I would write a very large message but I have some information that I want to tell everyone as soon as possible. Parker’s PEG-ADA injections have already begun to work. He had his blood taken this morning and the results have already come back. Parker is no longer neutropenic. His white blood cells have gone up and his lymphocytes have also started to increase. We were not expecting that his numbers would rise so quickly, but they have and we are so thankful for that. We need Parker’s cells at normal levels before we go to Italy. In my opinion, Parker has shown us that he has very good bone marrow and as a result will be an excellent candidate for the gene therapy trial in Italy.
