Thanks for the update, we love and miss you both. Love Mom and Gamma MA


We checked in today. Joey is in Room 519 at Cincinnati Children's Hospital. The phone # is 513-636-1519. Today is just for settling in. Right now, Joey is playing action figures with Grandma Bonnie. Tomorrow, they will begin his chemotherapy. He will have 4 days of chemotherapy. Then, he will have three days of rest before his stem cells are transfused the following day. It is very difficult to witness this---he is bouncing all over this room. He seems entirely healthy to me. It is a double edged sword. If he were not this energetic, it would definitely be tougher to admit him, but seeing him so full of life---I am having a very tough time looking ahead to this treatment. If anyone does send anything to him, please be mindful there are restrictions about what can come here. No stuffed animals or fresh flowers are permitted. The best bet is to send to the hotel--they will get it to us and we can maintain the guidelines for this unit. Thanks for all the wonderful notes. We feel the support.
