Shay is certainly growing up fast the last couple of months. He is looking older and developing how he should across all areas. He enjoyed a recent trip to Wembley stadium and as you can see by the picture he loved it. I think his favourite part was going on the train! Shay had his last transfusion on the 23rd September 2010 so it has been a while now. It seems his marrow is making red cells as his hb is now a whooping 10.8, nearly in the normal range. His platelets, WBC and neutrophills are still very low but stable. So hopefully in the near future these will recover also. It has always been a huge worry that Shay would go into complete marrow failure. They can transplant but it seems the survial rate for a child with Pearson's is 18mths post transplant. So thank God he is slowly recovering it's been a long old wait for it to happen. Can't believe our little man will be 4 years old next month he has had a hard struggle with life the last couple of years it just goes to show what a strong fella he is.
