Day + 78

Hello Friends! I finally have a chance or feel well enough to blog this morning! I know it's been a while and in that while not too much has been going on. I've now had my 60 day bone marrow biopsy and everything was negative! The pcr, fish and bcr/able...all negative! Also the doctor told me I was "all boy" haha meaning all my cells are all donor cells so not only did the transplant take it did exactly what it was supposed to! I do take around 20 pills a day. Things for anti rejection of the transplant to steroids, anti virals, anti bacterials and a couple of them in combination have messed with my eyesight, loss of appetite, fatigue etc. Some days I still need to sleep quite a bit and others I'm ready to get out and do anything! That's really just about it as far as post transplant goes. On a happier note I've gotten to see Ryan and Rachel quite a bit this last month! Ryan's school had a mothers day tea and Jenn was nice enough to make a day trip with me to Austin to see him. And of course while there we couldn't leave with out seeing Rachel at her school too, she couldn't have been more excited to see us! Poor thing didn't understand that we were only there to visit and had to go back home so she cried for a few minutes and then we had to get going, broke my heart but I went back the very next weekend to take them to my best friends house for the weekend, we literally just stayed in all weekend and enjoyed each others company, they pretty much stayed right by side all weekend! Rachel had her first dance recital this past Sunday, I couldn't really make the 3.5 hour drive again as I usually get car sick but everyone said she did really good and I will just have to buy the video for $25 of her 5 min of fame on stage lol. Now I feel like I'm just rambling, like I said like is pretty boring right now, still just laying low and allowing my body to recover. Ms. Kennedy, I would love to plan a lunch or dinner one day, maybe your mom and Jenn would like to come too! You are amazing and strong and I can't wait to meet that awesome spirit of yours.

Katie!
