The doctors have decided that none of the different immume suppressive therapies we have been trying the last 5 months are effective enough to allow Eric to thrive. The decision has been made to proceed with a bone marrow transplant. Once Eric is off the ventilator and stable for a while, we will go back to Cincinnati to have that procedure performed. They already have a compatible donation of cord blood on hold that they can use. I expect Eric will be ready for the trip sometime next week.
Tomorrow, to celebrate the first day of spring, I have a job interview and vasectomy scheduled. I'm not sure which I am more nervous about. I have complete confidence that at least one of them will go well, but I'm hoping they both do.

David, Best wishes on both endeavors today. Sounds like quite a day ahead. That must be depressing to find that all little Eric has been through has not been helpful. I hope the transplant will be the answer.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
