3 weeks

It has been 3 weeks already and this is still new to me. I think I have cried enough tears here lately that would last me a lifetime.
There is not much going on here at Shands. Kaedyn will finish his 5 day dose of steroids tonight. He has been one hungry boy. He was down to 28 lbs and is almost at 31. They had him on a appetite stimulant but decided the steroids was enough. I think we will put him back on the stimulant tomorrow evening if his appetite decreases. He will have one more dose of chemo and that will be Sunday for this month. The next cycle will begin on day 31 and we are at day 20. I don’t have the next cycle yet but I am waiting for it. They promised it to be here and ready tomorrow. I haven’t heard any word on a donor yet. I’m assuming no one has contacted the transplant coordinator back. So our specific prayer is for someone to contact her ASAP.
It seems silly for us to be here but Kaedyn’s ANC (immune system) is 0. It has been for a while and I don’t think it will go up much. They are being so cautious with him and I appreciate it that. Kaedyn and I both have cabin fever but as I tell him when he cries I don’t want to be here “this is only until you get better and then we can go home”.
Last night my sister and I were giggling at Kaedyn’s future plans. He wants to go to Daycare. I am very shocked about this as he always wanted to stay home with mommy. He watches from a window here and see’s many kids playing together on the playground and then their parents pick them up. I asked him if he would miss me and he says you will pick me up like all the mommies do. I never thought this day would come.. Sigh, but I still have lots of time. It will be another year before he is healthy enough to be surrounded by kids. He also has his future cockatiel  pet name and all the toys he wants for the cage. My sweet boy is such a dreamer and I love him for that.
Thanks for all your continued love and prayers. Please say an extra prayer that a donor will contact back and be ready to go right away.

    I am a registered donor, how can I find out if I am a match for Kaedyn? If anyone knows, please post or e-mail me. Thanks.

    • Hi Bill,
      If you are a match they will contact you. I am by law not allowed to know the potential donors names or contact info.
      So I may never know unless the donor agrees to give me contact info.
      Thanks for wanting to help so much!

But please know my prayers are with you, and my love and praying for a donor, asap. I know the Lord is going before each of you preparing the way for healing and restoration. Thank you for the updates. I look forward to them, as I know the Lord is making a way of healing for Kaedyn. Take care of yourselves, and know many love you, and are praying. Right now, I am praying for a donor. A perfect donor. in Jesus name amen.

    MY TESTIMONY OF THE GREAT THINGS THAT “YHWH” HAS DONE IN MY LIFE,> PLEASE SHARE WITH OTHERS

    ON JUNE 14th 1971, I WAS IN A VERY SERIOUS CAR accident, MY SKULL WAS> fractured AND I HAD A stroke BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF BLOOD THAT I
    LOST, I WAS IN A coma FOR 31 DAYS, WHEN I CAME OUT OF THAT coma
    “YHWH’S” HOLY SPIRIT TOLD ME THAT HE HAD A GREAT MINISTRY FOR ME TO
    PERFORM.

    THE accident PLACED MANY mountains IN MY BODY, THEN IN DEC. 1991,
    A BROTHER TOLD ME THAT ACCORDING TO MATTHEW 17:20, ONCE I PUT MY FAITH
    IN THE mountain MOVING POWER OF THE PRECIOUS BLOOD THAT YAHSHUA SHED
    UPON THE CROSS ON MOUNT CALVARY, ALL OF THOSE mountains WILL BE
    COMPLETELY REMOVED.
    AT THAT MOMENT, PUT MY TOTAL FAITH IN THAT mountain MOVING POWER & I
    RAISED MY HANDS TO HEAVEN AND I RECEIVED THOSE MIRACLES OF HEALING
    THAT YAHSHUA HAD COMPLETELY PURCHASED FOR ME, ALL OF THOSE mountains
    WERE COMPLETELY REMOVED.

    THAT IS WHY I CAN TELL ALL OF YOU.

    ACCORDING TO MATT, 17:20, ONCE YOU PUT YOUR TOTAL FAITH IN THE
    PRECIOUS BLOOD THAT YAHSHUA ,OUR KINSMAN REDEEMER SACRIFICED UPON THE
    CROSS ON MOUNT CALVARY, SO HE COULD COMPLETELY PURCHASE FOR US, 100%
    OF THE MIRACLES THAT WILL QUICKLY MOVE ALL OF THE MOUNTAINS OUT OF OUR
    LIFE. SO YOU WILL BE ABLE TO ENJOY THE LIFE THAT “YHWH” WANTS US ALL
    TO ENJOY
