January 9, 2012

OK.  So no harvesting tomorrow.  The soonest we will be able to do it now will be Wednesday.  I'll explain:  As I've mentioned before, his counts are low and they need his counts to be at their peak in order to harvest.  So when they start to see any sign that his counts are coming up, they will give him something to stimulate them in order to do the harvest; until then, we wait.
Today has been OK though.  Clayton has spent much of the day sleeping since he has gotten a good deal of morphine to combat his discomfort from his mouth and throat sores.  He also got another platelet transfusion.  He is playing with his toys right now which is nice to see.  Still waiting to see a smile though; it's been a while since we've seen him smile :(...Never mind, right after I wrote that he got real playful and we saw our first smile in days!

We have gotten to know some of the team we will be spending a LOT of time with when it comes time for the transplant.

AND we have also gotten reaquainted with Children's Hospital...more on that later.

  1. I'm thinking of you all and keeping you in my prayers. Many friends at school are asking about Clayton and praying for him as well.
