John Jack Lorenz is 5 years old today!
Our little John is not so little anymore.
Today we visited Dr. Gowda for his birthday and Doctor Gowda gave him a wonderful gift. John’s platelets are now up to 206,000!!! Woo hoo!
That’s the highest John’s platelets have ever been since he contracted ITP and the third straight week of rapidly rising platelet counts despite the fact that his steroids have been tapered back to 2.5mg every other day (he started at 15mg a day). It really looks like John may be in remission. It’s sure to be a big celebratory weekend for all these reasons. I’m including two pictures from today. The first is with Dr. Gowda. Dr. Gowda is calm, positive, knowledgeable, intelligent, and as warm as our South Florida waters. The second picture is with John’s nurse Lourdes who is the best kind of nurse – kind, thoughtful, and capable!
