I think it is completely fitting that Alex's new blood type is A positive, otherwise known as A+.
Alex was such a trouper yesterday, we know how embarrassed he gets when so many people are focused on him. Of a course, everyone on the transplant team, along with multiple nurses were there when the marrow was hung. It was strange...
Looking at less than four ounces of fluid that would save his life.
Knowing a battle for his very being was about to take place.
Watching as old and new immune systems met for the first time.
Seeing Alex's body react as sweat appeared, and his throat thickened up.
Joining in a sigh of relief when a simple push of Benadryl calmed his system down
Laughing with the nurses, to break the tension in the room.
Rejoycing when the final cells were sent through the tubes, into our sweet boy.
Hoping that all of this leads to a cure for Alex for good.
I think Alex deserves an A+.
Yes, he certainly does. I'm so happy for all of you.
