You people must have a direct line to heaven! This afternoon Moffitt confirmed that Nick's donor is still a "go". Bless this young soul! The only negative is that she cannot donate until after the holidays, but we'll spend the next two weeks getting Nick over his cold anyway.
Moffitt has now scheduled Nick's admission date for January 15th with the BMT (transplant) taking place on January 20th, He will be "self isolating" himself a bit to stay free of any additional virus/germs between now and then. He'll also have to take it easy because the chest catheter must stay put. Moffitt's Home Care team arrives tomorrow to teach us how to handle the daily care of the catheter to avoid infection. I will continue to update you all on a weekly basis as Nick spends the next few weeks healing from his cold and visiting Moffitt to keep an eye on his blood counts.
I know I will never find the words to thank you all enough for your prayers and well wishes to Nick. We have been extremely moved by your display of pure love and we feel truly blessed. Please continue to pray for Nick's healing and the safety of our sweet donor through the holiday season.
Wishing you God's Perfect Peace today & always,
Thanks for the update 🌹... Just thinking of you. Mindi

ReplyDeleteEverything happens for a reason. I suppose this delay is simply part of plan. Wishing Nick a speedy recovery from the cold and a return to full strength for the procedures in January. And wishing all of you the best in the days ahead. Andy Kantor
ReplyDeleteDitto on Andy's comment. It must be seen as part of a plan that ensures the success of Nick's transplant. Hang in there Nick. Its all good!!
DeleteNick and Renee,
ReplyDeleteMay you never feel isolated - your family and friends are always with you in prayer, spirit, and on the internet :-)
Enjoy the holidays! Sac
The delay, although not planned, is to assure a smooth journey, as you know.
ReplyDeleteI have confidence Nick will be strong and all will go as planned. Even though we haven't seen each other in many years, it seems like we spoke yesterday. Go Big Greek.
