Things are really looking up for Austin! We have discovered that Austin has set a new record at SickKids as being the first child out of isolation 10 days after transplant! He is a real fighter, to say the least. I am so proud of how well he is doing and can't believe round one of chemo is already finished - as scary as it was - IT'S OVER! Austin is beginning to walk a bit, but is quite stiff and sore after being confined to a hospital bed for the last month. He now has a bit more energy, and is playing some video games and board games. His drinking has increased and he is beginning to nibble on a few chips. His morphine has been decreased to the point the doctors were able to eliminate it completely. If he stays fever-free and increases his fluid and food intake, Austin may be able to go to the Ronald McDonald House (with daily nursing care) in a few days!
