Number Of The Day

My daughter, Alexis, loves to watch Sesame Street on Saturday mornings. In fact it became a routine we rarely broke. One segment they do is the number of the day. She loves to count along with the Muppet's as they count silly objects. Here is the number for today:

 

Although this number isn't from the Muppet's it is from someone much sweeter...Drew! Today they redrew the blood work that initially diagnosed him with a cobolamin defect. The maximum amount of homocysteine a normal person can have is a level of 15. When Drew was first admitted to the hospital his level was 125!!! His level today was 30!! That means the medications they are giving him have been VERY effective and it has been less an a week. This was incredible news. I immediately called my husband to tell him. He has been dreading the number 30 all year (he turned 30 years old last month) but I am pretty sure this is one of his new favorite numbers!!

This week will prove to be very important and looks to be very busy. I will keep you updated on his progress toward coming home!
