Saying goodbye to all of the people who have been so caring and wonderful to us both for the past 2 months is more difficult than we thought it would be. We woke up this morning and stuck ... http://stemcellschina.com/blog/JosephP/2009/03/31/sad-goodbyes/ 3-30-09 It has been a great Monday....all of Joey's doctors came in this morning to evaluate Joey's progress.

We were up until 4:00 a.m. ... http://stemcellschina.com/blog/JosephP/2009/03/26/too-much-tea-a-bonus-sct/ 3-25-09 It's only Wednesday, and so far, IT HAS BEEN A GREAT WEEK......

The weather turned a little cooler and looked like rain on Saturday. We did roll down to the end of the street and bought some fruit from a local vendor. We  have plans to go on one last shopping trip on with one of the ... http://stemcellschina.com/blog/JosephP/2009/03/22/10-more-days/ 3-20-09 Last night I watched the clock anticipating what was to come after this last SCT. Joey came through like a champ. NO PAIN AT ALL!!!!! I am thrilled. I wish they all would have known this from the beginning but I guess there was no way they could have.

We were told his SCT would be at 1:30 p.m. but for some reason they didn't come to get him until 5 minutes until 3:00.
