I forgot to mention that there is another little girl who has optic nerve hypoplasia like Hunter here. Her name is Lydia and she is 6 years old. She needs your prayers, too! We have met Carl and Paul and they are really nice. We also met Marjorie and Danica on our first day. Remember all these people in prayer. They make it a little easier to adjust to a new country and culture. Thanks for all your comments and we hope to get HOME soon.

Hunter had his first round of stem cells by IV injection. They put the IV in his foot. Which was a fight, but they were very good with the needles. It took four nurses two trys to get the IV in, as you know Hunter is a stout little boy. Unfortunately we’ve been couped up in our room because Hunter was throwing up for two days. But since he hadn’t had a fever his scheduled injection was carried out. He is scheduled for a second round of stem cells on Wednesday January 16 by a lumbar puncture in the spine. He will be under anesthesia thankfully. But last night and today he hasn’t been throwing up and still no fever, so lets pray for his second procedure to be a success like the first one. Hunter is in his own time zone as sar as sleeping goes so pray for me and my mom that we might actually get to sleep at night, instead of naps when Hunter naps, because believe me they are fewa and far between! Rylee Lovett will be here at 6:45 PM and she is on the 18th floor with us! I have been corresponding with her mother for over a month now so we are really looking forward to meeting them! Lets pray that the have a safe trip and that Rylee has a good response to the stem cells. Keep us in prayer as well and all of the other people from all over the world who need these stem cells. I will let you know how Hunter’s treatment goes Wednesday.
