We will head to Atlanta on Sunday and be ready for labs first thing on Monday so the results can be sent out in the 8:30 shipment. The labs take two days to turn around so we are going to stay put in Atlanta with my sister and wait until clinic on Wednesday for a chat with the transplant team and the results. That way if the results come back positive, we will already be there and not have to turn around and make the drive again in such a short time period.

All things point the lab tests, etc. being done at CHOA as a precaution. His EBV history hasn't been great so the transplant team is being detailed in their approach which we appreciate. We are optimistic.

Here are a few pictures of Ian's IV with his puppy (it is a sticker the nurses gave him) sleeping in his IV house. The puppy was named Fido. His IV pole was named George and we would talk to George when we would go out, etc. It was great. And Livy loved to try to climb on George! I did learn that for the next IV, we need to be sure to get it in his LEFT hand. I even told the nurse he was right handed but I think in all the hub bub to get it in that was lost. Ian had to have help eating, brushing teeth, going to the bathroom, etc. It was great to get that out for lots of reasons. And speaking of, his nurse let him to take out his IV for the most part. He thought that was pretty cool.

He is doing well clinically so he is excited to go to the Primary activity tomorrow. I think mostly because he can wear his pj's to it. Ian has had more energy today than all of hte last week and all I can say is "please share some of that with your tired mom!"
