Some News Today and Some Not So Good

Today the nurse from the Bone Marrow Center called me back. She is so nice and takes time to answer your questions. Yet, she is a busy woman. At this point, this is the news that I know and hope to hear the full scoop on Tuesday morning. Quinn's file is "Actively being worked on".... Hold Please!!!

OM Goodness, Alex just came blasting in the house that Quinn was bleeding from the walk down the street from the bus stop. I honestly, didnt know that I could run that fast. I yelled for her to grab toilet paper since it was the closest and swooped him up quickly. Just finished with another IV and Factor Infusion. Wow, this one is bad also!! Oh Lord, please be with us and allow us to stay at home and not visit Childrens! I have asked so many times of you and have been given the experience as you see fit. At this time, Lord, please do not allow any more platelets for my son until this process is in place. His life is hanging in the bows. Please grant me the strength to protect him and be a good caregiver to him at this time. Thank You!

Ok, so back to the story .... It sounds like the "Live Donor" may have come forward but can not be for sure as their privacy is protected. But was told that all information on the 3 were due back today and Dr. Meyer and her would sit down and review the information. At that time they would choose the best candidate for him. Tuesday morning I am to get a phone call back from her with information and an examination date for Quinn. It sounds like we may be able to set a date for this process to begin. Will cross all fingers and toes that this is what happens. It will take about 4-7 days for an umbilical donation to arrive from the Marrow Center. If we get a "Live Donor" then the marrow will be sent on a commercial airline by courier to guard it and could arrive quicker. Depends on where the contents are coming from world wide.
