Radiation came to end today.....

Well poor little Austin had to wait for his TBI today. It wasn't scheduled until 2:00 PM. He got up early this morning so was able to get four ounces of milk down before cut off. He did well with his radiation. It was sad to say good bye but nice to know it is over. Dr. Eng wants to follow up with Austin for a while so we will get to go visit, and hopefully only visit. He is still very worried about his height and says he probably will be short. This is coming from a man that is very short and says he will be short just like him. The nurse and laughed when Dr. Eng walked away and said I don't think so. So the nurse told him to grow a few feet in the next few months and come back and show Dr. Eng. LOL I took the coming back for follow up as a good thing. More like research to see how tall he grows and how his bones do. Before it was one follow up appointment and that is all. Two, I like the fact I will have still on board of the team of doctors to watch to make sure this nasty thing doesn't come back. He did very well in his last ambulance ride. Rode all by himself in the stretcher to and from CTRC. He directed the way back to the room for the EMT's and then when he saw his daddy in his room he pointed and told them "Daddy". So they said "hi daddy". Was so very cute. He did throw up when we got back but I am sure it was from the anesthesia and the backwards ride in the ambulance. Right after we cleaned him up he starting eating and has been playing and watching video's since.

Transplant is tomorrow at 10 am. So if we could pray at 10 am that the cells "cure" Austin would be great. I am thinking we will be in this room so we are just going to let the grandparents come up. So the big day will be here and then we should HOPEFULLY go home Thursday. Yippee!!!! I am keeping my hopes up!!!
