July 30, 2003: Max in the BMT unit
recovering from his MRI, CT scan,
bronchoscopy, spinal tap, ear tube
surgery and central line placement.
    
     
     
       
       
         
       
 
   
August 9: Max happily chews
on his finger as he
laughs at his sister Grace.
  
       
   
     
   
 
Max got a new doctor today. He's
been doing great, as you can see
he's even sleeping through his
newest chemo. Dr. Ronald said
he's real proud of him.
  
     
 
 
         
       
 
   
August 10:Auntie Dana visits and
demonstrates her ability to help Max nap.

his Occupational Therapist
  
     
 
         
       
 
   
Anyone for a blue ring?

August 17:Max is naughty
with his IV pole the
morning of transplant
 
       
         
           
         
   
Max acts as a mini air traffic

Max and Mom on Transplant Day!
    
     
       

         
       
 
   
Max's nurse Melissa brings in the bag of
thawed umbilical cord blood.
 
       
   
     
   
 
The nursing team double check's Max's
name to make sure he is getting the right
blood. Then they snapped a couple of
polaroids.
  
     
 


   
   
         
 
Checking vitals before transplant
    
     
       


     
 
 
     
 
   
With a twist of the wrist, voila! New cells
drip down into Max via gravity. The entire
process took about 14 minutes.
  
       
   
     
   
 
Grace stopped by at the end to check on
her brother. Here you can see the outside
of our door on transplant day.
  
     
 


   
   
         
 
Max is happy to have new cells!
