Carly was discharged from the BMT unit at Children's Hospital on Monday, October 5.  She "rang the bell" prior to leaving the oncology floor which is a significant moment.  It signals the end of active treatment and begins a life free of cancer.  Carly and her family are thrilled to be home.  Carly will go to outpatient treatment for three days a week for the next three months.  Last week she did have to stay in the hospital after going in for outpatient treatment.  Carly has spent the last week back on the BMT floor but is in high spirits and ready to get back home.  The Nguyen's would like to thank the entire Seton community for their prayers, cards, emails, videos, meals and outpouring of love.  Carly still has a long road of recovery to travel but with our continued support she knows she can do it!

We would love to continue to provide meals for the Nguyen's.  It's not too late to sign up at takethemameal.com, search "Nguyen" in the recipient last name box and the password is "7442" to take Carly and her family a meal.  This has been a big help to them.
