We have an ANC!

Andrew's absolute neutrophil count was 200 yesterday. It always makes us breathe a little easier when he has neutrophils. Interestingly enough, he has a whoppin 980,000 platelets/uL. The usual range is 150,000-400,000. Go baby!

In other news, Andrew learned that he can crawl around the apartment. He has been crawling for almost 2 months now but has always stayed on this little patch of carpet in our living room, I think because we keep him on a similar sized gym mat in the hospital. Anyway, he likes to crawl down the hallway and look back and grin at us.... then he proceeds to get into anything that he can reach (just like a good little 9mo old should ;) ).

    Good for him. Now you get to baby proof the apt. Just wait till he's pulling himself up onto everything so he can reach more.
