We’ve been in the hospital for 13 days now. This round is feeling like it’s passing slower than the others, mostly because it’s been so smooth with no procedures or complications– no complaints here! Bo is doing so well. He is officially off all medications and fluids. His doctor even extended his vital checks from […]

Friends, It’s been a week since we were admitted. Bo celebrated his 1st birthday on Wedneday, and what a celebration it was! His nurses and care team went all out and decorated our room while we slept. Bo was showered with love from those both near and far. Thank you to those of you who […]

Bo was admitted to the hospital yesterday morning to begin round 3 of chemo! Normally his doctors want to see his counts recover to 1,000, however because Bo tested positive for that virus a month ago, they were concerned that the virus was keeping his counts from rising and didn’t want to wait to start […]

Friends, We are overjoyed to share that Bo’s results for both his bone marrow biopsy and lumbar puncture are CLEAR! We are praising God! This is huge news as it confirms his transplant doctor’s decision to forego ALL radiation prior to transplant simply because he doesn’t need it! The miracle of how well his body […]

Bo’s counts were exactly 500 this morning which allowed for him to have the bone marrow biopsy and lumbar puncture, but was not able to be admitted to start the third round of chemo. The procedure went so smoothly and Bo woke up from anesthesia happy! We are home now and he is resting and […]

Hi friends, Just wanted to pop in to wish you all a Happy 4th of July and to ask for prayer. Tomorrow we head back to the hospital for Bo’s bone marrow biopsy, lumbar puncture, and to be admitted to begin the 3rd round of chemo. If his counts are at least 500, we will […]

We went to the hospital bright and early this morning for Bo’s bone marrow biopsy and lumbar puncture and to potentially be admitted to begin round 3 of chemo. Much to our surprise, Bo’s counts weren’t high enough for the procedures or for chemo so he went home after just a brief dressing change. We […]

We are finally home! We were discharged on Sunday afternoon and have been enjoying being home together. After 33 days in the hospital, we will never take being home for granted. We have dove into finding our new normal yet again, and it has surprised us how quickly we have settled back in. Watching Bo […]

Bo is 11 months old today! He is happy and active and we are looking forward to celebrating his first birthday next month. The last week in the hospital has continued to be rather uneventful, which is a good thing—no fevers or other complications. We are just waiting for Bo’s blood counts to recover enough […]

We’re happy to report that we have been having very uneventful days! We are on day 21 here in the hospital and Bo‘s ANCs are still at 0, which means we will be here for 1-2 more weeks while we wait for them to reach 200 so we can head home for a bit. Last […]
