Let’s get right to it. The bone marrow studies, including four aspirates and two biopsies are all NEGATIVE. Again, no evidence of disease!
With that round of stressful testing behind the Eigners, a new plan unfolds. They will be back the University of Minnesota on April 29th for a renogram and an appointment with the Pediatric Nephrologist. They’re still trying to assess his kidney function (or damage) and determine how long he will need to continue with blood pressure medication.
During this trip they will also draw and mail a blood sample to NYC for HAMA testing. The testing will continue every four weeks until he is HAMA negative and can continue with the 3F8 antibody treatments. The next trip to NYC for testing is scheduled for July, but hopefully he’ll be out East sooner for the antibody treatment.
The picture is Peter and Kate with a beast that I can’t classify. It’s one of many photos from the wonderful trip to Disney. A complete photo album of the trip is to come.
