Surgery Day

"In about 7 hours we will be on our way to Detroit Children's Hospital for the placement of Harper's "life-line". Pray for our baby...lets all be hopeful and trusting.
I appreciate your words of encouragement and find a great deal of comfort in the clickity-clack of my computer keyboard so thank you.
P.S.Harper is a wild man...he is rambunctious and laughing...seemingly unaware that cancer is a part of his world at this point...lets pray that his resilience continues! And Tatum...she is my princess - God bless her too! "
And:
All is well...

"Chemotherapy has been underway for several days now and as you can imagine our little spokesman for resilience is having nothing but a good time. He is laughing and playing with all the same energy and blissful ignorance as before. We have had the best play dates with fellow patients Savannah (age 5) and Morgan (almost 6)...Harper and I really miss playing with Tatum so it has truly been a blessing to bond with these girls.
The boy has 3 days left of his therapy, after that we wait for his counts to bottom out and then recover once again...I am so proud of what my baby has gone through and with such dignity - Way to go Harper!
We anticipate a consultation with Detroit regarding the details of transplant and donor specifics...I guess the doctors are refreshing the donor search to see if any new cord blood has become available in the registry. So any new details will be posted as they come in.
Less we forget...my dear Tatum is running things at home and doing a fine job from what I gather. She is keeping dad in line when it comes to Friday folders and fundraisers for school, and most importantly she is happy. She also enjoyed a play date with four of her girlfriends yesterday thanks to my girlfriends' thoughtfulness.
God Bless. "
