Day 0!

 Thank you so much to everyone who helped to make today great for Carter. We had cake, balloons, friends, silly string, blow pops. It was a great day. Carter looked a little nervous before we started. They gave him his new blood cells and THANKFULLY he did not throw up, which is a predicted side effect. He got to silly string us and zeroed in on his beloved father, of course. The team at Miami sent Carter an awesome happy birthday video and I can't say thank you enough. We watched that and his Raising Canes video before he got started. So today is day 0. He was given the cord blood cells from whom I deemed the "baby yankee" (we were told our donor was probably from the NE U.S.A.) And now we wait. He's not really hungry but he is eating a little here and there. Hopefully everything will continue to go as planned and we will begin the engraftment/healing process leaving Carter,

RENEWED!

 

Happy Birthday Carter Hucks, from the U
