Day +5

Quinn has had another great day. He has been out of the room most of the day except for this nmorning. He has been in the playroom watching several movies including Harry Potter. Today I was able to go check out some movies for him. I hope he likes my choices. They have 2 areas to our floor. One for the cancer patients and one for the Bone Marrow Transplant patients. So, he isnt able to leave the floor due to bacteria that may be laying somewhere. Our room keeper is Maria and she does such a good job!

This morning we received news that his white count showed up a bit and is at 0.11. Not much of a count bus it is something. The doctor told me not to get too excited because the counts dont usually show up until days 7-9 on cord blood donors. So, if it isnt there tomorrow then I wont be disappointed ... will just be something that is to come!! But, would love to see something.

Today he received a unit of blood. No platelets as his counts were good.

Have a great weekend everyone --- Auntie Lorrie Happy 50th!!!! We will be thinking of you please.

Day +4

Today Quinn has a great day...he was up and out of the bed many times, played in the playroom and sat in the big chair. Keeping those big muscles of his in good shape.

He doesnt feel like eating alot at this point but has food suppliment connected to his Hickman line.

Today I shaved the remaining pieces of his hair. He gave me the word that he was ready. He looks so adorable!!!!

Things seem to be going along well and I will leave it at that so nothing comes up to bight us in the beind. The docs are pleased with his progress as well.
