As I mentioned before my grandson has A-plastic Anemia.
Tripp had two broviac lines
installed on Saturday (Out-patient procedure). He named them SpongeBob and
Patrick.
He was admitted to UNC Children’s Hospital yesterday. Today, he had
his first dose of radiation therapy. It’s done under light anesthesia. Three
more consecutive doses of radiation and then 5 days of Chemo before he gets the
bone marrow transplant.
So today is day -9 and begins
the count-down to transplant day Jan 22.
This is one brave kid. No
crying, little to no fear, very engaged in the process and asks the doctors
lots of questions.

FYI – He wanted a buzz cut
before all this started just in case he loses his hair.
Thank you all for your kind words and for
keeping Tripp in your prayers.
