Michael, age 10, is still progressing, we will know after his levels tomorrow if there is any change..He, too, has had 2 rounds of ATG.. His supposed donor is also "unrelated".. I know how distressing it would be if he chose to "bail" when and if the time comes for the BMT. My prayers will be with you and Matthew and all of the other with SAA.. I donate blood every 45 days..I was turned down as a donor because I had major spinal surgery 3 years ago. Live for today...do everything you can, and enjoy life to it's fullest, because, truly, no one is promised a tomorrow. My best wishes to you and your family.
