Day 0

Notes from Mom:

Steve received his new bone marrow at 12:00pm today. He did fine and he is sleeping now.

Steve has enjoyed ALL of his visitors to this point. Unfortunately, starting this evening, since Steve is neutropenic, he will be restricted on visitors. This should only last a short time and then he can have his visitors back :) We will let you know when!

Thank you all for your continued support. Keep leaving Steve those messages!

Here's your quote for the day: Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome.

"Neutropenia" is an abnormally low number of neutrophils, the most important type of white blood cell. These serve as the primary defense against infections by destroying bacteria in the blood. Hence, patients with neutropenia are more susceptible to bacterial infections.
Now we all know why we can't visit you. May your neutrophils prosper and multiply. Love, Laurie B.
