Hello everyone,

Alicia is doing fine at this time. We have not had another cbc done since the last one in January, she will have one done next week when we are in Cincinnati. Hopefully her counts have came up. Her Platelets still have me and Dr. Davies very worried.

We will be in Cincinnati on the 6th for an appointment with Dr. Davies and a Biopsy done the following morning on the 7th. I pray this one will have good enough results so that Alicia will not have to keep having Biopsy's done every three months and maybe have them done in six months instead. She has had them done every three months for so long now and that is getting hard on her, and myself. I feel so sad every time she has to have one. I will update as soon as I get the results.

We have scheduled her make-a-wish for the middle of July. She is goning to Disney, we look up Mickey Mouse every night on the computer. Alicia is soooo excited. We wanted to wait until Alicia's baby brother is born so it wouldn't be so hard on Erika, she is so huge and wouldn't last an hour walking through Disney world. The baby is due in May, and depending on Alicia's Biopsy's results we might have to have another in three months which will be in June so that is why we decided on July. Make-a-wish came out to the house last week so everything is being planned now.

Alicia's baby brother, Anshon Jay is getting so big. He turns one in a couple of weeks, he started walking last week, I guess he is moving out of the way for the new baby (and last baby!!!). Erika and Big Anshon decided on a name finally, it is going to be Jay Shon. Oppisite of Anshon Jay. (kinda cute huh)

I hope everyone is doing well. We can not wait til camp this year so we can see everyone!!!

I will update as soon as we get results from the Biopsy next week.

Sorry it been almost two months since I have Updated on how Alicia is doing. The Holidays have been very hectic around here.

We go back to Cincinnati the first of March for another Biopsy, and again every three months until transplant. Dr. Davies wants all of the Biopsy's done there and not in Kansas no more. She also has to have Cbc's every month now, she had one done last week and all of her counts stayed about the same, her Wbc and Rbc dropped slightly but not enough to worry Dr. Davies. Her Platelet count is what is worrying everyone, it was at 19,000 last week down from 21,000 the last time.

She is very tired alot lately, anyone that has met Alicia knows how very very very hyper and active she is, now she is laying down alot without even being told to. That has me very concerned.

Alicia's baby brother is getting so big, I put an updated picture in her album for everyone to see. Alicia is very protected of him. She always tells everyone "no touching, he's my baby Anshon" they are so cute together. I wonder how she will react with her new baby brother. YES ITS A BOY. We found out last week that Erika is having another boy, this is the last one, she is getting her tubes tied after this on (thank go), I already told Erika not to even try to bring me all of them at once. Boy is she going to have her hands full!!!

I will update again sooner than two months,I promise. I finally got a computer at home so I have no excuse now.

WE MADE IT BACK TO CINCINNATI ON SATURDAY. EVERYTHING WENT WELL.

HER PLATELET COUNT CAME UP FROM 19,000 TO 21,000. DR DAVIES SAID HER MARROW LOOKED OK BUT WE ARE STILL WAITING IN THE RESULTS FROM THE FISH STUDY.

DR DAVIES WANTS HER TO HAVE BIOPSY'S STILL EVERY THREE MONTHS BUT SHE WANTS THEM DONE IN CINCINNATI AND NO MORE IN KANSAS.

SHE ALSO WANTS CBC'S EVERY MONTH NOW INSTEAD OF EVERY THREE MONTHS, SHE ALSO TOLD ME THAT TRANSPLANT LOOKS TO BE SOON.

SHE WAS SUCH A LITLLE TERRIOR THERE, (THANKS TINA AND KEITH FOR PUTTING UP WITH US) ALICIA HAS SO MUCH ENERGY, SHE WORE JO AND JACY OUT!!!!!!

I WILL UPDATE MORE AFTER WE GET THE REST OF THE RESULTS. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR CHECKING ON HER.

Alicia,
Good luck in Cincy! I know it's no fun getting poked all the time but you are such a trooper. Take care and try to mix some fun in with the medical stuff.

Take care,
