Well today's ANC count has gone up to 260 another YAY!!  He has been whiny for the past couple of days but today he seems to be feeling alot better driving us crazy but we would rather him feel good and do that than not feel good at all.  Yesterday he had to get blood and platelets, so the platelets were done before he awoke and then blood was around 6PM.  Well Tim decided to go home and do some laundry, well about 8PM just when his blood was almost done Bryson landed his knee right on the line and it pulled the access to the portacath.  Well my quick thinking I clamped the line and then paused the machine as blood was dripping out of his portacath and waved frantically for the nurse to notice me in the window.  So they then had to re-access him to heplock it, so that was done quickly.  Well about 20 minutes last I am on the phone with my mom and I look over and Bryson has blood on his arm, I said what in the world told my mom I would call her back.  I lifted his new cars pj shirt and the bandaid that they cover his port with was covered in blood and kind of dripping.  Then again had to get the nurse, they said because he just got the transfusion that it was still in the port just coming out, so gauze and tape it was and within 15 minutes more gauze and tape.  After that it was fine just a little bruised, I told Tim, he will not leave ever again..LOL

 

Bryson has been pretty content not being able to leave the room, he has his little DVD  player changes DVDs every 2 minutes, he colors, watches baseball with us and keeps us quite entertained to say the least, oh he also loves sitting up in the window  watching the people and cars go by, closet thing to outside since August 2.  This kid is something else, amazes us every day you wouldn’t know that he has had all this to deal with since he was 9 months old.  They took blood today to check on the engrafting and we will find out those results on Monday, we are hoping for female donor cells that’s what the cord blood was from a female, doesn’t mean he will turn into a female just certain cells will show female weird but whatever keeps our baby boy cancer free works for us.  Please pray that Mondays results are wonderful.

 

We will be busy tomorrow as well as the benefit on Saturday.  My mom and Doreen have done such an awesome job with it all.  Also to all of you that have contributed to it as well, thank you all.
