From his Mom:
Gage woke this morning ... at 7am! ... active and alert as usual ... not so for Mommy! I told him his transplant was done and he received his new cells last night. His response was "really, oh, okay". Oblivious, relaxed, no stress or anxiety ... we are blessed. The doctors are very happy with how Gage has handled everything so far. Now we just wait ... not my favorite thing. The team will be keeping a close watch over any signs of liver complications, Graft vs. host disease or infection. The "feeling yucky" period could be over the next few days. Gage's counts will continue to drop but then we hope to see engraftment within 10-28 days. My understanding is the sign of engraftment is white cell recovery. We will be anxiously watching the daily lab reports. Around "day 28" there will be a bone marrow biopsy and we hope to see the healthy donor cells "settling in".

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

Positive thoughts and prayers continue.
What a trooper.
When we close the first set tonight with Highway Star, it will be dedicated to Gage.
Quote:
Nobody gonna take my head
I got speed inside my brain
Nobody gonna steal my head
Now that I'm on the road again
Oooh I'm in heaven again I've got everything
Like a moving ground an open road
and everything
I love it and I need it
I seed it
Eight cylinders all mine
Alright hold on tight
I'm a highway star

Ah! The foreigners put on such airs
Wearing the tangerine suits
And their harlequin eyes.
The pain they inspire
Draws in harmonica melodies
And the feathers of birds
Which flame up at their touch.
It all comes to light in the sheer
Debonair.
