Wyatt and I were picked up for our appointment for his stem-cell extraction and proceeded to the clinic. Just like any other clinic - hurry up and wait. They were running an hour behind and just when I was running out of ideas to entertain Wyatt, it was his turn. We were gowned up and off to the collection site. After getting the IV in and many tears, Wy fell asleep very fast in my arms. I was escorted out of the area and the Doctors started their procedure while I waited. After a mere 15 minutes, Wyatt was wheeled out of the OR and we were off to the recovery room. There we were with a family that we met from NJ - actually a Japanese family that lives in the US. It was very nice to have someone to have near by that is going through the same journey. I have met other families from Yemen and Denver as well and hope to continue the realtionship as we all hope for progress with our children. We are all trying to do the same thing for our children - provide them with every possible option in the world to make their life that much better.
Once in recovery, Wy woke up mad and crying. He was pulling at the IV and wanted it out NOW. I asked a nurse to get it out his way or it would be Wy's way. Once the IV came out, Wyatt settled down and I was able to get him to eat and drink. That is a sign that he is ready to be discharged.
Once we got back to our room, Wyatt was ready for a nap. We were woken by our two world travelers returning from Paris. Wy was so excited to see Grandpa and Dwight, so we all got ready to go and eat at Schumachers Brewery - Sehr Gut!! Wyatt ate a ton and that made me feel very good. After our home-style meal, it was off to bed.
