You've come a long way baby!...(Day +365)

Just a short blog update to commemorate the delivery of Max's new immune system.

On this day last year Max received a cord blood transplant which cured him of his Wiskott Aldrich syndrome. I expect this day will be a special day for us for the rest of our lives....it really is another birthday for Max.

March 15th for his immune system.
June 29th for the rest of his body.

Max receiving those golden cord blood cells March 15th 2010
The cord blood...the donor to which we will be forever grateful

Avid followers of our blog will know of the many ups and downs and twists and turns we have endured this last year...although we are not out of the woods just yet, boy have we come a long way....

From the fear of Max having a brain heammorage if he was to bump his head.....
....to now rejoicing in the fact that his body can now actually produce a scab!!!


Ahhhh platelets....we do love thee!




Today!

A more detailed blog of this months happenings will follow in the next few weeks...
