Absolutely nothing new to report here. We are still anxiously waiting for news on getting Pam's stem cell transplant from umbilical cord blood approved. Two units of the blood have been identified in the registry, but since using umbilical cord blood is unusual for an adult transplant, we have to go thorough this wait for approval. I am sure we will finally get some news on this process this week.
This past weekend, we moved our hide a bed couch to the beach house in Manzanita and spent the weekend watching it storm from there. I read most of the time and we watched the best movie ever: It's a Wonderful Life with Jimmy Stewart and Donna Reed. It is only about the tenth time I have watched it, and I still can't get through it without crying. (I've decided to man-up on the fact that I cry occasionally.)
Pam was able to babysit Austin last week, and she was in heaven. She is really having a tough time knowing that she won't be able to see or hold Austin for at least 4 months following the transplant. I have set her up with a skype account, so she will be able to "visit" Austin on video when the time comes. I will also publish her skype address here for the rest of you so you can "virtually visit" when Pam is in the hospital and in quarantine here at home.
I will let everyone know as soon as we know more on the status and timing of the transplant.
More to come.
