Leaving On A Jet Plane

Yesterday Danny received his third filgrastim injection. Same drill -- questions, questions, injections, more questions. Thankfully his aches and pains have been pretty minor and he's had no lack of appetite, nausea, etc. He was able to work a full day (office job) following his injection. He did, however, sleep a lot last night. He pretty much slept straight from 8pm until 7am!

This morning he drove himself  to the "injection place" one last time to receive injection #4. We are headed to Minneapolis today to get settled in and ready for the big day tomorrow. 

This is where the Be The Match organization has went above and beyond. Minneapolis is approximately a five hour drive from our home. Rather than just offering to pay us mileage, they are flying the both of us down, not to mention they are covering all of our costs while away from home. They have definitely done everything they can to make this as easy on us as possible.

Adios GFK!

Last night when Drew (our 3yr old) saw us packing our bags for our three day, two night stay, he asked where we were going and why. (Because there is always a "why" when it comes to three year olds!) I explained that daddy had to go to the doctor in the "cities" and how he needed to take medicine in order to help somebody else that was sick. His eyes lit up and he said "Daddy's like a superhero?" I had a good laugh, but then realized he was on the right track. Leave it to a pre-schooler to put everything in perspective. :)
