hi i havnt posted in a while his doctors agree that he cant have hip surgery now so he uses a walker and a wheelchair the pain is better now that he does not put much weight on it. he is transfusion dependant now getting blood every week and platlets today he had a port put in place last mondaybut they could not use it yet b/c it is so swollen and red the surgeon will check it fri. the 29th he did get to have a treatment last week of vidaza 7 days and neupogen for 4 days they said that was why his counts were down. but hey his white count was 7 that is the highest its been in a very long time
