First Day in New Home

We are here, Ryan is in good form.

We have our proticol for the next 11 days....Wow alot of stuff to take in.
We have a room that has a bathroom for the next 10 days so that is great news as we thought we were going straight into isolation.

We have seen the doctors and they gave us our first piece of good news. Ryan has no blasts in his bone marrow, we were hoping for less than 20% and there is none...what this translates to is that he has no cancer cells (aka: like remission) Yeah....the doctor said that would be good for prognosis.( another Yeah)
We also found out that Ally is a match (blood type wise - o positive just like Ryan)

We know we have a long road ahead and we are praying every day that Ryans does well in the next 10 days and then well in transplant..I am sure that we will have some bumps along the way, but I remain hopeful that my little man beats this disease...
He is so cute, sunning around the hospital renaming all the staff...we have a person named Nick at the front desk and Ryan now calls him Scott....(funny)
Ryan being Ryan is a good thing, he has the fight and he also has the stubborness...I am hoping this works in his favour...

Signing off for now,

Suzie

  1. Sue, that's great news and a nice positive start. How is Ryan reacting to being in hospital again? I take it they are starting his treatment today? This blog is a great idea, it's good for us because we are up to date without having to be afraid that we are calling at the wrong time. Do they have wifi at the hospital??

    Kisses to you all.
