My son's doctor is Dr. Connie Piccone (
http://www.uhhospitals.org/Physician...4/Default.aspx), a pediatric hematology/oncologist, specializing in hematology and sickle cell disease. Rainbow is a teaching hospital with Case Western Reserve Medical School, so we see lots of docs. But she said she is the attending.
They tested his sister, she was not a match. I took that hard, but then realized we just have a different road to travel.
While waiting for the results of the match, I prayed and prayed for it to be so. But then I realized I should instead just pray for strength - strength for me to be helpful to him and especially strength for him to deal with this.
Fortunately teenage boys are not known for reading, and mine is definitely typical! Instead he just seems to take it one day at a time, which is probably a better way to do it.
Thanks for all your help, I know I'll have more questions.
