The night of September 14 we were  heading in to the hospital for our long anticipated Stem Cell Transplant. On the way in to the hospital we stopped at the park for a swing and to run our wiggles out. I am fairly certain Liam was not expecting  the upcoming hospital stay, it was sad to watch his face when I said we were going to have a sleepover at the hospital. He really does shake off the disappointment quickly.

The first night is really just a sleepover nothing happens, just to ensure we can get going early in the a.m. I’ll spare you the details, but some of the challenges for this week are for every 6 hour baths and special mouth washes 8 times a day.  So the plan was; chemo 6 days, one day rest and stem cell transplant September 22. 

Thankfully, the week of chemo we are free to go to the play room and run the halls.  One of the great things about being nearly 3 is Liam’s focus is always on play. He doesn’t slow down for much. The move to isolation is exciting the room is full of toys and decorations that are tailored to Liam.  The room is not big but we definitely make the best of it.
