We decided today on which hospital we will be at for the Bone Marrow Transplant. It came down to the pros and cons for both places and what is best for Hayden as well as Abby.  After we met with Dr. Desantes again today, we were reassured that the protocal for Hayden’s BMT will be very similar if not the same as MN and the Wiskott-Aldrich disease will be watched  and addressed as needed too. We decided on……..I feel like we need a drum roll right about now……UW Madison Children’s Hospital.

Since someone dropped the ball in scheduling for our last Urology Appointment at Dean, we will go right to UW for this Ultrasound and dye test for his kidneys. This tests the function of the kidneys, to make sure they will withstand the chemo.

While we were at UW day treatment today, Connie and Fish from z104.9 had a radiothon live from right outside of Tyler’s Place (playroom for day treatment siblings) going on today 6am through Thursday at 7pm. They are raising money for the new Children’s hospital to help families with sick children. As we stopped by and a little girl, was being interviewed, she is from Portage, WI next door to Sun Prairie. She is 9 yrs old and has 3 different types of cancer. You can’t help but cry for them. They are such troopers!

Now to make it through the hardest part, seeing Hayden sick!
