Well, we made it to Little Rock last night and got settled into the hotel.

We went to the Myeloma Clinic bright and early this morning and no one seems to have any problems locating Tanner in the waiting room since it seems that all the other patients are over the age of sixty. Everywhere we go they keep telling Tanner he's the youngest patient they have worked with. He's getting lots of attention and care from everyone we meet. They did another bone marrow aspiration today and Tanner did really well; it was his mom that shed the tears (since I was actually in the room this time and saw what they were doing).

They had to go in three times to take marrow and bone so that they could have some for his diagnosis and extra for research. He was doing lots of deep breathing - but I was really proud of how strong he was.

Tanner's step-mom Janet is here with us and it's been wonderful to have the help, support and extra set of ears. Sometime's all of this information is more than one set of ears can absorb.

We went to lunch today and started talking about all the support Tanner has been receiving -even from people he hasn't even met yet- and he started crying. I can't tell you how much all of your support has meant to us.

We are about to head out to New Patient Orientation so I will be back to update again tomorrow.
