Delay....
Another delay!!!!
It turns out Max will not be going into the hospital until Monday. He was supposed to go in tomorrow, but the plans changed. They want Max on his antibiotics for a few more days because of the "bugs" they found during the bronchoscopy. It will also be easier to get lab results from his first chemotherapy drug on a weekday instead of a weekend. Thus, we must wait a few more days to begin his treatment. We are going to make the best of it and enjoy our last few days of freedom. Hopefully, nothing else will delay us.
We had our final meeting with Dr. Grewal to discuss the transplant protocol, it it was scary to say the least. He had to tell us everything that could go wrong during transplant, and there are A LOT of things that can go wrong. Most things can be treated, but of course many others can be life threatening. We then had to sign the consent forms, and we felt in some way we were giving Max up to the doctors. A parent never imagines having to put their child through such drastic measures, but we know it is the only thing that can save Max at this point. We have total faith in the BMT staff and their desire to take the best care of Max. We hope and pray that all things go well and that Max will be a transplant success!
