Day 15

Hi Everyone,

T.G.I.F! I am so happy it's finally Friday. After two days of not seeing Charlie I am so happy to see him. We have great news today! Charlie's counts are going up which means he gets to come home soon. Today is the last day of the chemo pill. Yay! Charlie is getting a blood transfusion right now and just got done eating dinner. He is feeling weak today but feels a little better after eating. The doctors came in today and talked more about the bone marrow transplant. The process of the transplant is going to be a big deal. Charlie will have to travel to California and will probably be there for at least three months. There are no dates set because several things need to be done prior to going. Right now we are getting an idea of how much all of this is going to cost. We are brainstorminhg fundraiser ideas and are gonna get started soon. If anyone would like to help or have any ideas for us, please let me know! Charlie is so touched by the hats that are being sent to him. We haven't received any of them yet but he can't wait! Thank you Jenn for putting that together. If you don't know already, Jenn put together a hat party through Facebook where friends and family can send Charlie a hat. Charlie will be losing his hair soon and wants to wear cool hats until his hair grows back. Charlie is still hanging in there and is looking forward to next week. Please continue to lift Charlie up in prayer. God has a purpose and a plan. We just don't see the big picture. Thank you again to all of you who have been reading the blog and keeping us in your prayers. We love you all!
