Transplant #2 Complete

This round of chemotherapy seemed to hit Austin a bit harder than last round. He experienced very bad stomach pains which was relieved somewhat when he vomited. He sleeps most of the time and is not mobile at all due to the discomfort he has. Austin had his second stem-cell transplant yesterday. He tolerated it very well and seems to be doing a bit better today. We are going to have a "Simpsons DVD Marathon" today thanks to our friends in Red Deer, Alberta who sent a wonderful care package to Austin complete with his favourite shows and PS3 / DS games (thanks Sue)! Scott left yesterday to go back home to Longlac after staying in Toronto for a few days. It was so nice to have someone here to visit and help out. Austin's grandpa is flying to Toronto today from Thunder Bay to visit for a couple of weeks, and he has been given clearance to visit Austin in isolation ( I will just have to teach him how to get all "suited up and sterile").

You're so welcome for the package, I'm glad to hear that you can get some use out of the movies and games! Keep up the good work Austin, you're doing awesome!! That's great that your grandpa is able to come and see you, you must be pretty excited about that. Both of you take care and I'll talk to you soon.

Love Sue
