T-1 and The ABCs of MPS

Tomorrow is the big day @ 1:00pm...  Unlike a surgery, it's a pretty uneventful blood transfusion.  We could use uneventful as the chemo is finally kicking in and he is getting sick multiple times a day. It takes about 7 - 14 days for his body to accept and start reproducing the donor cells (engraftment).  These will be are hardest days so we will need your prayers over the next 2 weeks more than ever. 
He is less active but did rally when he saw his sister for the first time in 3 weeks.  Peyton just brightens the days.  She may be his best medicine!
