ALICIA'S JOURNEY WITH FA

Welcome to our blog where we try to keep family & friends updated on our daughter/granddaughter, Alicia, who is one of the most adorable five year olds ever! She was born with a very rare & aggressive disease, called Fanconi anemia, which causes bone marrow failure, as well as different cancers . She is currently undergoing a bone marrow transplant to try to cure her bone marrow issues. If you'd like to gain a little more background, please visit our first entry HERE.

RMH

Alicia is doing a lot better. They started her NG feeds yesterday which she tolerated very well. The plan now is to let us go to the RMH, but to stay around Cincinnati for a while, which I am OK with. The closer to Dr Davies, the better.

The Nurses and Doc's have all been so great. I am so very glad we got Alicia here, who knows what would of been the outcome if we were still in Kansas. The Doc' in Kansas were great also but by any means the care for a child that has had a Transplant is the BEST in where the Doc's know about FA!!!!!!!!!!!!


Dr Davies already has an appointment set up with Alicia for Tuesday which she is going to have another x-ray done on her stomach to see if is better. Alicia still has her year post transplant workup which was scheduled before all of this came up. Dr Davies also wants Audiology to see her while we are here also.


I am not sure if the room we are in at the Rmh has Internet access, if not my friend across the hall does so I will update more soon. Thanks for all of your support.

P.S.
Stacy was laid to rest yesterday at 2pm. I talked to his mom and she said it was very beautiful.

Continuing to lift up prayers!
1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.
