Faith Hope and Prayers

Dear Family and Friends,

Davis is doing a bit better now after an eventful night last night and a full day today. He developed a fever last night which admitted him back into PCMC early this morning for IV antibiotics. After a few days of spontaneous bleeding and low energy, he also received platelets and red blood transfusions today. He had a bad reaction to the platelets this time. They were able to calm his violent shaking and tremors with medication. His red blood transfusion went well. After both transfusions, his pain diminished and his energy level increased from "0.5" to "3" on a 10 point scale. He went from being flat on his back to wanting to put on a mask and walk the halls in no time!

We received some disappointing news today that we do not have a sibling match for a bone marrow transplant. With this news, the plan is to get him over the current infection causing the fever and then begin treatment right away with strong medications that will hopefully spark his own bone marrow back into action. This will all begin to take place in the next week or so.

Thank you again to all of you for your love and prayers. We appreciate you so much!

Love,
Davis and the Cox Crew
