It's deffinantley fungus, BUT we have an ANC!!!!

ANC is the number that tells us what Tynan's immune system is doing, and how easy he can catch an infection. Tynan's normal over the last three months or so has been 0 - 150.

Last Friday his ANC was 520, and we were thrillled.  We had not expected it to ever be over 200 again.  He also blew a nasty looking "something" out of his nose, that we hoped would give us answers as to the type of fungus he had. 

As you all know, Tynan has had some really good, energy filled days.  They have been a blessing, considering that a few weeks ago he would only get up to go potty.

Today has been more than just a blessing, it's been miraculous.  Tynan's ANC is at an unexplainable 1580. Yes 1,580.  Not just ok, but above great!!!  The CT scan we requested came back with no indication of lung disease/fungus (as opposed to the xray that did show some disease present in the lungs), nor does it show any indications on the bone in the sinus cavity.

The doctor has ordered a FISH test. This will tell us if Sykora's cells are present, and at what %.  They are thinking that it could be possible that her cells woke up with the fungus and started fighting the infection.  It is a far reach, but as long as we keep reaching in the right direction; up to the heavens; I think ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.       

My little cowboy has dreamed of being a rodeo cowboy since April 2010, and looking back I realize that he's been riding in his own rodeo circuit for 2 1/2 years. It's one of the toughest circuits on dirt. We'd like to thank each and everyone of you for following Tynan to each and every rodeo. 

"Sometimes you make 8; sometimes you hit dirt. Go on pin another number on the back of my shirt.."

These are lyrics from one of Tynan's favorite songs......I encourage you to listen to it.......Texas in 1880 by Radney Foster and Pat Green.  This song is truly about chasing your rodeo fever, but it reminds me of all the times Tynan has been bucked off only to get right back on again; and let me tell you, TODAY........HE MADE 8 BABY!!!!
