Hello from New York,
We had a pretty easy trip here. We are having some problems with our room lock (as in the keys won't work and someone has to let us in every time) and so I think they will move us today. We also had some very loud neighbors last night. The rooms have doors that join them and there seems to be no insulation and it is as if the neighbors are standing in your room. If we move, I hope that will be better.
Nathan had a checkup when we got to the hospital and I was very happy to see that he has gained almost 4 pounds and 3 cm in height in the eight weeks we have been away. They had to rewrite for all his medications and so we had a long wait before his antibodies. He got them and we waited for the pain. We waited and played and the antibodies finished and were flushed in and I still so no signs of pain. While we were eating he told me his pain was gone and I was surprised to hear he had any at all. We need lots of HAMA thoughts and see what happens tomorrow. I can't even begin to tell you what it would mean to us if Nathan gets a HAMA. I am trying not to get my hopes up too high, and even if he doesn't HAMA the ease of the treatments like this would be fine. He ate his whole lunch and we came back and now he is running around and laughing and playing. Usually on the first Monday we are at the hospital for hours afterwards and he is in pain the rest of the afternoon and I usually give him pain medicine later in the afternoon again. What a difference!
So - all of those out there praying for Nathan, please pray that if it is what is meant for Nathan, that he develop the HAMA and this can be our last trip for antibodies.
