Forward movement ...

Our phone finally rang at 5:15 pm today. One of our favorite nurses informed us that Hunter passed his viral screening! The pace is about to pick up. Actually it already has. Hunter had another blood draw at 7:00 tonight. He will receive a platelet transfusion tomorrow (Thursday) afternoon. The doctors will place a central line and perform a bone marrow aspiration on Friday. Hunter will be admitted to Children's Hospital on Sunday to begin pre-chemotherapy drugs. His chemotherapy starts Monday, September 14th, and his bone marrow transplant is scheduled for Wednesday, September 23rd.

    Oh my god, finnally!! Now, it's a little scary because everything is happening so fast...but it has to be done so... I hope the bone marrow aspiration is not going to be too painfull, does he get a little anesthesia???

    Congratulations. This is great news. We were all pulling for you guys. Glad you can finally start treatment again so Hunter can be healthy and you can return home sooner rather than later.
