by Michael Wells Today was a day of good news and no news. The good news is Brady had his bone marrow biopsy performed and all went as planned. The no news is we still have no results regarding the pathology of the bone marrow. This is of course extremely frustrating and has me at my wits end. In fact tonight after ferreting out Dr. Drachtman and finding him at home only to be informed he had no word from pathology makes me just want to scream. This is after Sherrie had to personally visit the pathology department to get slides of today test packaged and sent to CHOP. Get this; pathology claimed no one instructed them this needed to happen. I think it’s probably better that I do not talk to Dr. Drachtman until tomorrow because right now he’s not one of my favorite people. So, before I continue to really vent my spleen; let me share some terrific news; my friend and coworker Michelle Martin is arranging a blood drive at her Elks Club in February in Brady’s name. She is also planning a fundraising event for him. I am just blown away with this; thank you Michelle. I will let everyone know the details as soon as possible. Sherrie’s home for the evening and Brady is fast a sleep – hopefully for the night. I’m going to call it a night so until next time; continue your prayers, thoughts and hugs they really do make a difference!!!“8 Years Later—Still No Cure for Pediatric Cancer” is a series of posts revisiting the journal kept by Sherrie and Michael Wells during the cancer diagnosis and treatment of their son, Brady Michael. Hopefully these entires will provide an understanding of the journey families face when dealing with these horrific diseases and of the important work the Hugs for Brady Foundation does.
