Duke!

Nic and Dad shared their first flight together. Both did great! The flight attendant gave both of them Delta wings! 

Nic checked into Duke upon landing and was cleared for her infusion. The day before the procedure, we took Nicolette to the Duke Cathedral. It was beautiful and everyone on the campus was so kind. Nic proved to be a true Jayhawk and actually threw up on dad and the floor once inside!




The procedure went as smooth as could be... once they got the IV in a vein. It turns out, multiple hospital visits lead to veins that are really hard to get into. After five attempts, the Doctor place one in her scalp. I guess the upside is the cells had less of a journey to get to where they need to be to repair brain damage. Nic used all her cells. Another procedure is not possible.

The next day, Nic discovered her hands! She has been feeling EVERYTHING nonstop ever since!!! Nic, Dad and I ask you to help us continue to cover the bill. Medical costs are really REALLY high. Her NICU bill alone was 131,000. She is totally worth it!!
