New Plans

For those that don't already know, unfortunately Seth developed a cold the morning that he was going to be admitted for radiation and his bone marrow transplant. We rang the hospital and were told to bring Seth in for them to do some testing, but they would not be admitting him. Seth was quite upset because in his words "I just want this over and done with". I was upset myself as it took alot of effort to get into the right head space and having one more thing go wrong was just too much.  We were called in to hospital today (wednesday) by an early phone call from the bone marrow team. They wanted Sienna in for another blood test because by law the blood tests have to be done within a month of transplant. I have to share a funny moment. The nurse asked Sienna what is her birth date and she said "this year". They also wanted to examine Seth again. The good news is that he has a simple cold, nothing sinister, and they are happy to go ahead with radiation which they have booked in for Wednesday. So we will now be admitted next Tuesday, radiation begins the following day and I am unsure of the day for transplant at this stage. It will more than likely be either the following Monday or Wednesday.  The results for his bone marrow aspirate are encouraging as they are still negative and that is what they need to continue to transplant.
