So we spent the whole day at U of C today. Actually we are still here as I type this as Leo needed to get another platelet transfusion this afternoon. It was a productive day. Aside of the usual blood tests that Leo usually gets, his mom underwent some blood tests and had an x-ray and EKG to make sure that she will be a suitable donor for Leo. Based on some preliminary information (keep in mind, it's preliminary) his mom's platelet counts were really good, as opposed to his dad, whose counts were low. So that's a really good sign. She has a fol ow up appointment with the doctor on Wednesday and they will give more information at that point. If she checks out and they clear her for donation, they will collect her stem cells next week Thursday and possibly Friday, if needed. Leo will be admitted to the hospital (allegedly) next Thursday as well. As you can see, I am a bit skeptical at this point given all the road bumps that we've encountered. So we'll just see what the next week brings.
That's all I have for today. Please say a quick prayer for us!
