no cancer!

So, the pathology results from Tanner's biopsy are finally back after almost 2 weeks. No evidence of PTLD! However there was EBV present in the white cells in his stomach. (not really sure what that means), and chronic inflammation in the bowel. They lowered his prograf again to .7 mg twice a day. I'm hoping this will help his tummy. He complains of tummy aches every single day.

Monday Tanner had blood work, then we went to the zoo, then back to the hospital for his first dental check up! It went really well. He has 3 cavities and they're going to fill them in the OR. sounds fun!

Yesterday Tanner had his eyes checked, and they seem good.

This morning, Tanner had a hearing test in preparation to go to preschool!! It was what I expected, high frequency loss. For those who want more details. He hears at 60 decibels at 2000 frequency, and 80 @ 4000. I'm hoping to get him some better earmolds in the hopes that he will actually use his hearing aids!

Anyway, thats what we've been up to this week.

Thanks for all your love, prayers, good thoughts, and concern. Megan, Austin, Noah and of course, Tanner

AHHHH - LAY - LU - YAAAA!

What absolutely wonderful news!!!

For this we have prayed, and hoped,
and held Tanner in the Light!

It is wonderful when Opening the Possibilities
reveals such good possibilities.

I hope that Tanner's tummy feels better and better
as the docs fine tune his care.

My husband has had a high frequency hearing loss since high school,
and he's doing just fine now as a grandfather.

May Tanner have a long and happy life! ♥
