Hello Everyone,
Ryan completed the second and last stem cell treatment by Bone Marrow Transplant this afternoon. He was slightly more sedated from this procedure than others, but is recovering nicely so far. We have yet to find out how many cells he received from this treatment, but they are supposed to give us an estimate tomorrow. There has been and continues to be a larger turn over of patients in these two weeks. After this week is over, we will be one of the longest patient families remaining. It gets harder and harder to maintain our focus, when the end is getting closer. It is not unlike a case of “Senor-itis.” Although it is two days late, I will be getting out with a few other dads for a father’s day burger and beer trip to downtown Qingdao, tomorrow. We will have to see how the best burger in Qingdao compares to Smashburger or Chester’s. I can’t wait to be back in the USA. The good news for me, as usual, I have lost about another 5 pounds over here. That’s it for now. Take care. Dan, Suzanne and Ryan
Hi, Suzanne, Dan and Ryan!
Thanks for all the updates. Hope all is going well.
Do you take lots of pictures?? I’m trying to imagine how stressful this all is. Just being away from home all that time..
I’m confident that this will make a huge difference for Ryan and I know that’s why you sacrifice so much.
Blessings for you all!
Much love,
Sue
