Good things come this way.

We will be making our trek to St. Petersburg next week to begin the treatment process, it is such a relief to be able to write that. He will be getting his line placed as an outpatient a few days before so they can run some tests and give him some medicine prior to treatment. His 'conditioning' will take eight days then his transplant will be on April 18th. Once we get up to the hospital and admitted I will keep everyone updated on how things are going. The next week were are spending at home chemo free with lots of love and food. I am hoping a few extra pounds will help out once his lack of appetite kicks in. I know some people have fundraising efforts in the works and I can't put into words how grateful we are for the generosity of others. To anyone who has been asking how you can help, I finally have a solution for you! Today we got a trust account set up for Ryan's supplemental needs for medical bills not covered by insurance, help with car payments, and things that will cheer him up in the process. You can also make donations in our name to the Ronald McDonald House to help with the cost of our stay during his treatments, there is an area on the RMH website to make a donation or you can send a check to the address below and just write a note with the payment letting them know the payment is for our stay. Thank you so much again everyone! I have set up a PayPal Account for donations which is linked to an account at Chase Bank that is able to be found by my name if anyone wants to make a donation at the bank. Once I have solid information about when and where the fundraisers will be I will post to make sure everyone is in the loop. Like I said before keep up the prayers, positive thoughts, and candle lighting! Lots of love and hopeful hugs!
