Willem -- only days before he was stricken with HLH -- leisurely walking, straw in mouth, not a care in the world. A healthy 9 year old boy.

Ignorance is Bliss


Willem is doing well today.  Surgeon said that he is pleased with Willem's recovery from the surgery thus far.  Willem appears to be in good spirits and is currently watching Tom & Jerry and laughing.

I've been avoiding reading about what is involved in a bone marrow transplant (BMT) for a good reason.  I should've avoided it a little longer.  My poor little man has a long way to go yet and his recovery from this surgery is critical.

Because we need more stress: Our insurance (Tri-Care) has refused to pay for Willem's bone marrow transplant.
