Caleb Rhys OBrien update 12/27/22

Well today was the day! CAR-T therapy done and over with and the infusion took all of 8 minutes. From 12:10pm to 12:18pm today, we watched (as Caleb took a Benadryl nap) the cells that will hopefully cure Calebs cancer, be infused into his body. What has taken months of planning and discussing, obsessing over whether this was the right choice, debating with ourselves and Calebs medical team, not sleeping, feeling angry and resentful that this is where we are, feeling grateful for the miracle of modern medicine, being ever so hopeful....its just all the things, it all came together in 8, rather uneventful, minutes. Life is funny like that.

Thank you to everyone who has been sending your love and prayers our way. We really do feel it and it makes all the difference on the days when its just so hard to put one foot in front of the other. Now we wait, we watch Caleb for side effects and hold each other really tight. We have so much to be grateful for.
