Aaron got home at about 3:30 today and I am so glad! The home health nurse will come tonight at 8:30 to show us how to hook up his nutrition. He had a fun time celebrating with a few family members and friends, and was in great spirits playing. He is pretty wiped out now and will hopefully sleep well. I can't tell you how good it feels to all be under the same roof tonight. We will have a few visits at the clinic next week but at least those are outpatient.
Our next step is to meet with our oncologist on Tuesday to talk about the radiation, and then make some decisions. For now I am going to put that out of my mind and enjoy the weekend!
Thanks!
Barbara

About Me
- Team Aaron
- On August 27th 2008 we noticed that Aaron's leg appeared swollen. Within days he was diagnosed with metastatic Ewing's Sarcoma with the primary site in his left femur and tumors in both lungs. Soon he started a very aggressive chemotherapy regimen. He has finished 7 rounds of chemo and a resection of his femur, and now is undergoing a stem cell transplant. His own stem cells were cancer-free, so they were harvested and put back into his body after a very intense week of chemo that is meant to obliterate his bone marrow. Despite it all he has charmed his nurses and everyone at Phoenix Children's Hospital, and he continues to grow and thrive even when we were told he wouldn't. His prognosis is good, and he is a fighter!
