Last Tuesday Tripp had a
procedure to remove one of the two Broviac ports in his chest and perform a
bone marrow biopsy. The results show Tri Lineage (white, red, platelets). His
numbers dropped post procedure but jumped back up afterwards with the help of a
Neupogen injection.
Last Thursday, day +36, Tripp
was released from the hospital. He has to be within 30 minutes of the hospital
until day +100. They live 140 miles from the hospital. So, the hospital has
given them access to an apartment 2 miles away that has its own HVAC and is
dedicated to families with children who have blood diseases like Tripp's. So this
will be home for the next 64 days. This kid is a fighter and he's my hero.
