Good Frankie news.

Frankie has shown constant improvement with his blood work. Two weeks ago we
took him off his steroid dose, and he was just taking imuran (another immuno-
suppressant) every other day. Yesterday's total health shows him doing very
well in almost every area, with his p count still very high and most liver
enzymes back to the normal range. There is one exception, but it is trending
downward from the last test, which is promising.

So, we are stoping the imuran. We decided not to continue a low-dose immuno-
suppression therapy, since it was a toss up as to effectiveness, and since he
was showing some side effects to the drugs as it was.

Another platelet count in 2 weeks, a total health in a month, then we're
pretty much in monitor mode.

Yay!

Thanks to all for your help and support!
Chad
