Gearing up for Transplant #2

We are so excited. Donor is doing their testing today, so we are gearing up to move forward with transplant #2.

The little unicorn will start new cocktail of chemo on Wednesday, for eight days. Then, transplant on June 17th or 18th.

This time around we are doing peripheral cells, so that they can get in his body faster, and hopefully engraftment before his body has a chance to reject them. The Drs. and nurses here at Children's Medical Center have been amazing and so positive through this harrowing experience.

They have a very aggressive plan to deal with the heightened risks involved with a second transplant with peripheral cells, which certainly alleviates some of his stress and worry, as well as mine. Praying that he doesn't get GvHD (Graph Vs. Host Disease) and that those little cells get where they need to go, as quickly as possible!

We are so appreciative of everyone's love, support, and prayers. I for one have only been able to do this because of all of you. 
Much love to you all.
