Day Negative 10
Admission day went as well as could be expected. Ezra had surgery to insert his central line and he did great. He is happy knowing that he no longer needs to get boo-boos or wear arm boards. He even helped the nurse draw his first bloodwork from the line. Kind of odd, but he liked it.
We are starting to settle into the room. Ezra spent the day playing with every piece of medical equipment he could get his hands on and he calls himself "Dr. Ezra." The doctors and nurses are really amused by this - us, not so much.
The first day of admission is considered day negative 10 and you count up until transplant day, which is day zero, and then you continue to count up the days. His first dose of chemotherapy to take down his immune system and make room for his new cells will be administered tomorrow at 6:00 AM.
Many of you have been kind enough to ask for a mailing address. It is:
The Ronald McDonald House of New York
C/o Ezra Fineman Room No. 707
405 East 73rd St
New York, New York 10021
Thanks for all the messages of support - they mean so much to us!

Guys,
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that things went as well as can expected. Say hello to Dr. Ezra from all of us.
I can't wait to hear how Ezra is roaming the streets surrounded by lots and lots of people! I know that may be a long time off, but still....
ReplyDeleteMaybe he really will be Dr Ezra one day. Doing research on these diseases, or treating children like himself. And you will be schepping so much nachas (as will we all) when that happens.
ReplyDeleteFinemans, my thoughts and prayers are with you. Please God, in 30 or so years maybe he'll be Dr. Ezra for real.
ReplyDeleteGo Ezra Go! The Schreiber's are all rooting for you! And furiously making signs and decorations for your room. Lots of love to you all.
ReplyDeletePraying for Dr Ezra. Hope you are adjusting well to your new room. Thinking of you guys all the time.
ReplyDeleteI don't know you Ezra, but already you sound like a champ! I wish you a hearty REFUAH SHELEYMA, and will say Tehillim for your SPEEDY RECOVERY! I sense there is an exhorbitant amount of strength in you. I will be cheering you on.

ReplyDeleteMy friends & family are all praying for Ezra and for success with this procedure. Evan and Robin, there's nothing harder than seeing your child in pain. I admire you so much for handling everything & still managing to keep us all updated. I pray for all of you to stay strong.
