Days 6&7

Chemo time seems to be flying fast and Quinn is doing so well on it. He has lost some hair but not enough to notice a difference. He has only been sick 2 days in all. Which is outstanding in my book. Today they doctors feel that he is at the end of of Glanzmans and will be ready for the transplant on Monday. The old Platelets were so weak and work out that it didnt take much for them to go. He has new donor platelets on board. At this time, they have decided not to give him any more platelets unless needed. The good news is that since he has a new system the Antiobodies to the platets is gone!!!! Yes, Gone!!!!! That is great news. Our last chemo day is Saturday. The chemo that he is taking now is specific for Bone Marrow Patients to prepare the body for the transplant. Next week he will have a complete turn from what he has now. He will probably be in alot of pain and on pain pills most of the time. My poor baby!!!! I sure wish i could do this for him. Once he has completed the transplant we will continue to see the doctors for 1 year. At that time the new system should be in tact and all ready to go!!! I can hardly wait! Hopefully, this will be a memory of the past very soon. It is so hard to see your child suffer or go through any of this.

Aunt Tammy came up for a few hours today. I stayed close to the hospital just in case there was a nose bleeding episode. Not quite trusting yet. It will take a while.

Thanks 5th grade class for allowing "The Monkey In My Seat" to join your classroom! You will have so much fun with it. Quinn is sleeping with his everynight and thinking of you all! :)
