J is doing much better. His numbers are pretty normal, and he hasn't had a fever since 3am. As for the bone marrow draw, well, still not a lot to go on. They found that his neutrofils are being made by the bone marrow, but that they are not maturing. We're not sure if that's because he has had some sort of infection and his body is in the process of making new cells that haven't yet matured, or if they cannot mature. They are going to do a blood draw in the morning that will be sent to Cincinnatti for further testing, and then they are talking about maybe doing another bone marrow draw in a month or 2.

He might be able to come home in a day or 2 if his fever will stay down for 24 hours and his ANC (Absolute Neutrofil Count) will go up. It did go up today to 0.2 which is still abysmal, but better than the 0.0 it was!
