Great Weekend at Home for Francesco

This past week Francesco had to travel to the hospital 5 days to receive 5 rounds of Chemo. On Friday he also needed a blood transfusion. Without receiving the blood transfusion Francesco's weekend would have been limited to the couch because blood count was low resulting in feeling weak and tired. However the blood transfusion gave him so much energy that he was able to enjoy a true summer day on Saturday. His soccer friends Craig, James & Kieran came over and the boys spent the day swimming, playing video games and just being silly. It was a true joy to see him playing with friends and doing the things an 11 year old boy should be doing. Again thanks to everyone for the continued support and prayers. It is truly appreciated!

Francesco's Home!

After a month long stay in the hospital Francesco is finally home!!! His trip leaving the hospital was eventful. An unexpected hail storm sent golf size hail from the skies in Long Island. Both Barbara and Enzo's car had windows shattered in their cars. Enzo sealed the window with a plastic bag to make the journey home.  Francesco spent is first few hours at home with a few close neighbors and they shared many laughs together. Again as in previous posts his spirit is truly amazing. He will need to continue to go to the hospital a few times a week to continue with his treatment. Again thanks to all for their continued prayers and support!
