On Friday, Nathan completed his last round of blood work and received his medication. Everything went as planned throughout the week and we are all set. We flew home yesterday and are now getting settled in. Nathan has been incredible with taking his medication when asked and following all the steps just like the doctor instructed. We were very nervous about how Nathan would handle so many new faces and places this week, but he got through it. Friday was another challenge, but little by little he is getting used to everything.
He will continue to receive his treatments twice a day at home and we will return to Boston in two weeks to have an all day blood monitoring and administration of the medication. There is a team of about 8 doctors and nurses looking over everything going on, so we know Nathan is in good hands.
We can not thank you enough for all of the emails, text messages, phone calls, cards, and prayers that have been shared with us this week. We were truly overwhelmed with the amount of love and support that was given to us throughout the week. Although I may not have a chance to respond right away, Mike and I read every email and text and it helps us to get through the long days. THANK YOU! We are truly blessed with incredible friends and family who always take the time to let us know they care. Our Boston family made every second we were not at the hospital fun for the boys. It was great to be surrounded by family while we were going through all of this. We know that we have friends and family who are walking each step of the way with us and caring for us so we can do our best to make sure Nathan is healthy. We are blessed!
We will do everything in our power to make sure Nathan is happy through this whole process. He is doing his job perfectly so far and I know you will all walk beside us as he once again steps up and fights with everything he has to beat this. God is listening and hearing our prayers.
Love,
Mike, Beth, Nathan, Samuel, and Sean
P.S. I think Dottie is ready for a nap!! She was very busy all week.
We need to bring more Pittsburgh gear next trip!
Samuel was amazing all week holding Nathan's hand. He supported him every step of the way.
Nathan was so happy to have Dottie, his class friend, for the week. She had to go everywhere with us!
