AHHH ... A Semi Quiet Day!

Today was somewhat quiet. At least no major bleeding which is fantastic! Quinn has lost 8 teeth in the past month and has been a challenge. Two days ago he lost a molar and is bleeding slowly off and on. Ice Cream with a soft cone has became a danger to the poor guy. He came to me tonight with both sides of his mouth bleeding and packed. Luckily, his oral meds helped and all is well at the moment.

Janie was home sick today with a tummy ache! Poor little Tiger. The tummy stuff has been horrible this year. And unfortunately, mine didnt feel so well either. The meds (oral chemo) that I am on for RA brings my immune system down a touch and tend to catch things a bit easier. But, am back on the move again! Now to get Janie up and going will be nice.

Yesterday morning quite early the kiddos and I bundled my little Mia up to take her to the vet for a laser declaw and shots. Picked her up this morning and was so glad to see her. She was terrified at the vets office and really gave them a run for their money. Honestly, I think they were glad for her to go and she was glad to see me. They restled her so much I think her little 8 lb. body is wore out and she has slept most of the day or has wanted me to hold her. Poor baby wouldnt eat so what do I do .... fix her an over easy egg and dipped my finger in to feed her ..... I got laughed at but did get her to eat some! I love my kitty cats! They never talk back :)

Yesterday I spoke to Love Without Boundaries, which is how I found my Quinn. They are a non-profit organization that assists children in China with many types of needs as well as Foster Care, Cleft Lip Homes, Therapy, etc. They are wonderful and I truly mean it. The people working there are volunteers and work so hard for these children. Quinn was lucky enough to meet some of these wonderful people after he came home from China. And of course they remember his sweet little face! LWB was kind enough to post on their Facebook site about Quinn and try to build awareness regarding Bone Marrow Transplants. Thank You from the bottom of my heart for everything you have done for my son!!!!

I am anxiously awaiting our appointment on the 21st. Glad to check another day off of the calendar everyday!!!! Praying for a Seasonal Miracle. While most people are counting the days down for Christmas, I am counting the days down for our doctors appointment. It is depressing somedays and my mind wanders about what irrational/rational move I will make if there isnt a donor available. I think I have a few good ideas up my sleeve and hope that I dont have to go there. Honestly, I dont want to think the worst but it is so hard to keep positive at times.

Remember to register to be a Bone Marrow Donor at "Bethematch.org" It is very simple and only takes a few minutes. Asians are the best match for him typically, but that does not rule out anyone from possibly matching him.
