I went by Children's Hospital today. They have started chemo on Patrik. Bill said the staff over there is way aggressive with his treatments. Patrik had a tough day today but they are pleased with his progress. As Bill told me, "His numbers are dropping faster than the Dow. Which is good."
I was allowed to look in on Patrik and Joy. I called out to him. Patrik whimpered back a hello. He was flat out motionless which is not what you usually see out of a 4th grader. It was hard to see. But he will be better. It's just a tough thing.
Bill said that the response to the call for blood was nothing short of phenomenal. Folks from virtually every denomination and synagogue answered the call. Many folks had no idea what their blood type was. Most did not match but donated anyway as long as they were there. Accordingly, Little Rock has enough blood available to withstand a nuclear attack.
It is indeed a win-win situation. The family is profoundly moved and humbled by this.
Hopefully, they will get to go home Wednesday. Until then they are in good hands.
