I went to New York...
December 1, 2004 – 8:55pm (Eastern Time)
We just took off from New York and were flying home now… Our flight to New York was delayed, as our plane was taking off from Burbank; something went wrong, so we went back to the hanger until another plane arrived. The delay lasted six hours and we arrived in New York on Monday morning at 5:00 a.m.
We were able to catch a few hours of sleep and they we went to Sloan Kettering a little after 12:30pm, we met with Dr. Owen O’Connor and two doctors on his staff. To this point, my options have been limited. Stanford and UCLA have told me my only option is a bone marrow transplant using Mark or Shallyn as a donor. Dr. O’Connor has given me five different treatment options, I am so encouraged. We took a lot of notes and gathered an incredible amount of data. In the next few days, my Mom, Dad and I will sit down and decide which one will be best. I return on December 20th to begin treatment, my mom will accompany on this trip and in January, I will begin living there.
I’ve never been to New York, what an incredible city, I’ve found that I have a hidden talent, I have mastered the fine art of hailing a cab, even in pouring rain… I love New York! We had a little time for site seeing, we went to the World Trade Center site, I have seen this on TV for so many years, but actually being there was very moving. A few blocks away is the New York Stock Exchange, this place is guarded like Fort Knox, all the streets around the exchange are closed to cars. There are Police with machine guns, walking bomb dogs; and many Department of Homeland Security agents, it was amazing. We also went to Time Square and the Empire State Building. My favorite was Bloomingdales; this place brings a whole new meaning to the word shopping.
Thank you for all of the encouraging notes that have been posted. I feel the love, thank you <3>Ground Zero
