Post Transplant Day 9

Benjamin and his 7 week old nephew also his namesake, Declan Benjamin.

They are both in the hospital, both with tubes on their faces.  Also Ben looks good sitting up in a chair.

Today was a win-win for Benjamin!!  They were able to successfully remove the blood clot from his neck/chest and they did not need to put a stent in his vein.  They also did not remove the Hickman. They were able to remove the clot and leave the Hickman in plane. Win #1!!

Then this afternoon he was able to have his NG tube removed and that got the biggest smile I’ve seen on his face on over a week! Win #2!!

Quote from Ben: “That feels incredible!”

Little Declan is improving as well. Thank you, thank you for all the prayers, they really are working!
