Monday morning I woke up on a mission to make sure Duke University knows they are taking Sam in for Stem Cell infusion. I called only 30 times until I finally spoke to the person in charge. Sweet, sweet women, I kind of felt bad that she had to deal with me. I started off by telling her who I was as she has only spoken to my father-in-law and Scott. Then I start hysterical crying telling her that the fate of my son is in her hands, I'm hanging on by a thread PLEASE just give me a potential date that you are thinking about getting us in there. So she tells me hopefully sometime in August. OK (sigh), August is good, tomorrow is better but August is good, we'll take August.
The rest of the week consisted of a lot of running, Sam's therapy, planning and organizing for Passover.
Did I mention we got a new car??? Sam loves it, which is more than I can say for myself. I like it, but hmmmmmm.... not really what I thought I'd be driving EVER.
OK folks, are you ready to see it. Here it is The Leshin Family Truckster!
Oh and last weekend was Mama Leshin's 60Th Birthday party. It was a lot of fun and it felt great to get dressed up and go out. Scott and I became a little over zealous and drank too much, but it was nice.
And yes, I got fat. I am not ashamed to say that I gained 8 pounds being stuck in the hospital eating chopped liver and pastrami from 2nd ave Deli heheheh... Sooooo good YUM. And now I am on my diet health kick, yogurt, egg white omelets and lots of exercise. I am already down 3 pounds. Go me YAY!

It will be August before you know, and you will be on your way to lovely North Carolina in the minivan.
hope to see you soon.

Oh my God! You went Minivan! I don't know if I will ever look at you the same again! :-)
By the way, you look great in the photo, always smiling so big!
Hi Carrie!!!
I always am checking "Sam's world" and love how consistent you are at keeping us all in tune with "Carries world" too! I am so interested in the Duke study and can't wait to hear about Sam's outcome. Happy Pesach!
P.S. the truckster is HOT!
Love,
Alyssa Penson
Uch, August in North Carolina...my brother went to Duke and we would take him back to school in August...but dang it, that's awesome.
And for those of you out there looking in awe at the black minivan -- it is a sweet ride and FYI -- Carrie can even parallel park the big thing.

Hi Carrie, I just saw your comment on our old blog for our daughter Gracie. I never check it anymore so I am sorry I haven't responded! I read Sam's story, he is so handsome! Your story is so similar to ours. I know August can't come soon enough for you guys. Check out our new site for Gracie at www.gracielicious.com

Carrie-
Hi, I found your blog when I did a search for CME therapy. My 17 month old daughter has hypotonia following a stroke that she had at 3 months old from as a result of a heart condition. Can you give me the info for the PT that does your CME therapy? We live in Phoenix and plan to come to NY for some training/therapy for our daughter. Thanks!
