Anthony is doing fairly well. He has PT 3 times a week and a good bit of doctors appointments but he is progressing well especially considering where he was a few weeks ago. We will be making trips to Pittsburgh to Hill man Cancer Center, the doctor CANT and HAVENT said he has lymphoma but they wont rule it out due to abnormal T-Cells he had present when he was fighting meningitis. He does not have any present at this time. T-Cells, for those that dont know, are white blood cells present when you have an infection and also with lymphoma/leukemia but Anthonys T-Cells dont look really like either. It is a possibility that Anthony was born with his T-Cells abnormal when he has infection. This is where the MYSTERY is. So he will be followed by an Oncologist possibly the rest of his life just in case. Since we dont have T-Cells present on a normal day there is no way of knowing. What we do know is his white blood count is normal and there is not one T-Cell present at this time, he is getting better and stronger everyday. Thank you all who helped ( Ray and Judy Crawford, Tony and Terry Drass, Taylor Crawford, Brian and Lori Datres Crawford, Deena Donnelly and Scott Donnelly, Cathy Jarrett, Sandy White, Nik Donnelly, Joe Snyder, Adam and Jessica Brumbaugh, Doug Clark and his parents, Shannon Barger and the staff) attended and donated to both benefits that were held for our family at Pellegrines Bar and the Heidelberg Country Club. Just so everyone is on the same page the doctors ARE NOT saying he has cancer, they want him to do check ups as a precaution. Thank you for everything.
