We are now into week 2 of “work-up” and headed full steam ahead. Friday morning Oliver will go into the OR to get his central line and have a few more tests. “Mickey” Bear (see photos) has been a helpful way to explain his “noodle” and why he is getting it in the first place (to give him his medicine). And, the only rule: NO PULLING! Sunday we will be admitted to the hospital and he will begin chemo that night. Chemo consists of 3 different drugs that will cycle through his system for a variation of days, and then on March 23 transplant happens. Mom and Dad will be here which will brighten that day for sure!
Appointment after appointment, Oliver remains his mellow, sweet self, and I am reminded what a truly amazing little boy I have…
Thank you for all of your support, it means so much. 🙂
I will do my best to keep this website updated as the transplant progresses.
