Another Friday, Another Blood Draw

Hopefully today will be T's last blood draw until the end of course 7 blood draw.  :)  Once again Travis did great while he was getting his "pokes" and was his super-friendly self with the nurses.  I'm very thankful that he can watch You Tube videos on my cell phone while they are looking for a vein and doing the actual blood draw.  He holds the phone in one hand and his other arm is extended waiting for the poke.  We'll send the blood out on Monday and if the rapamycin level remains in range, then today's draw will be his 2nd consecutive week in range.

The volumetric MRI analysis can take a few weeks to be done and hear results since it is for a clinical trial and not a regular MRI read.  We are praying that the initial indications from the radiologist in SLC is a preview of what we'll hear from the volumetric analysis.  Travis continues to do well on the rapamycin.

We appreciate all the prayers and support for Travis.  I know God has Travis and our family in His hands and we're on the right path for T.
