Hi Everyone,

I am sorry I have been a little lax in getting out the news lately. Tristan is now waiting for his bone marrow transplant which will be scheduled the second week of April. He has only had to go to clinic twice a week for the last three weeks to have his labs checked. After the chemo that he had for a solid seven days in March, it takes a lot out of him and they have to build his platelets and hemoglobin back up. He has been home from the hospital for at least three weeks and we are all loving it. He looks good, he feels good and he is good!!!! They say he is in remission because they have not seen any cancer cells with the naked eye under a microscope since his last test(s). We are sure that with all the positive thoughts, prayers, and love, filling the universe with Tristan since this began, how could there be any better outcome that him feeling so good right now.

Monday twelve of us went to the Piston's game with tickets that were donated by a family that wasn't going to be able to use them. So we were in their suite and enjoyed a game with Tristan and the Pistons.
Last week he was given tickets to Tayshawn Prince's suite, they went but he was ill and they left before the game even started. So this was a bonus getting suite tickets the way we did.

Cousin Alex, my youngest sister's daughter, will be in town on the 4th of April to see her cousin Tristan. It is Alex's birthday, April 5th and she asked to come to Michigan from Florida to see him. Alex will be celebrating her 16th birthday here in Michigan with her cousin. She has not been here for five or six years, so it should be a wonderful visit.

Tristan spent the night at his Grandparents house Saturday night. He woke up Saturday morning at 8:00 and wanted to know if he could get in the shower and get ready for his grandparents to pick him up. We have not seen him get so excited about something in a long time. It was very sweet.

Keep your loved ones close and hug them every chance you get!

Remember together we will "MAKE HIM BETTER"

Love,

Charlotte
