04/05/06 - Today was Hannah's LAST DAY of conditioning. Tomorrow is TRANSPLANT DAY #1!!!!! This is VERY CRUCIAL in Hannah's recovery. She will receive 2 bags of frozen stem cells on Thursday and 2 on Friday. She is receiving MORE BONE MARROW in this transplant than the previous in hopes that the results will be better. Hannah's chemotherapy and radiation were SUCCESSFUL and she passed through them AMAZINGLY. Even suprising the doctors with her STRENGTH AND WILL. Her white blood cells have gone down to 0.4. Her platelets today were 49 and her hemoglobin 86. She is receiving blood transfusions about every 2 days. Still no apparent side effects from the chemotherapy. Hannah's skin is slightly red, similar to a sunburn BUT that is to be expected from the radiation. Tomorrow morning Hannah will be moving to the sterile transplant room. She will remain there until her blood levels start to improve and her polys are 0.5 or greater for a consecutive 3 days. The official test done to determine if the bone marrow transplant was effective does not take place until 30 DAYS POST TRANSPLANT. So we will not have those results until the first weekend in May. Until then Hannah will hopefully show signs of improvement and continue to progress to a FULL RECOVERY. If you had a chance to listen to the radio today on CFRB 1010 OR 97.3 EZ ROCK they were broadcasting live from Sick Kid's Hospital for their 20th annual radio telethon to raise money for Sick Kids. Karen and Steven were one of the families interviewed today and were able to share Hannah's story. The telethon will be going on for 3 days and MANY MORE stories will be shared from children and their families. If you would like to show your support and give to the Sick Kids Foundation or join the Miracle Club you can find more information at www.sickkidsradiothon.com. GOOD LUCK TOMORROW HANNAH!!! WE'RE ALL PRAYING FOR YOU!!!!
