Two Years!!!

Two Years ago today Henry had his Bone Marrow Transplant.
We Celebrated with Red Velvet cupcakes, a bit of morbid humor :D



It was quite a day. We were disheartened by the fact that we were facing our "last resort" to rid his body of the LCH. We lost the first donor, but ended up with a really good "cord blood" donor. The room truly smelled like creamed corn, while you may think that's not bad... it was!



A day or two after transplant, our super hero was hangin on!
Playing with the doc's tools and tape to entertain himself.

By the end of this day things started to get tougher.

His calming "blow-by" (providing the needed oxygen because his little lungs couldn't get enough on their own)

I won't post any more pics from transplant days because they break my heart. (You can view them in the blog aechives) It's a bitter sweet bunch of memories; hard for me to see because of the pain he had to endure and yet they bring me joy because he made it through.
Some days I take for granted that he's a "normal" healthy kid.

We still struggle with smaller issues but NOTHING compared to what we've already been through.

Love you Henry!

Happy Transplant Day!!
