2 years post transplant

March 16, 2013 was two years post my life saving bone marrow transplant. Woo Hoo! Today, I'm feeling great. I still have a few things that pop up from time to time like muscle stiffness, severe heart burn, cramps in my hands and legs but all are manageable and I just kind of keep pressing forward. It has been so awesome being so involved in Ryan and Rachel's school year! I've been on all but one field trip, I eat lunch with them regularly, and I even joined the PTA. Ryan plays baseball and still does martial arts, and Rachel loves gymnastics! Aside from school and sports, I have taken every opportunity we've had to do fun little trips to make memories that will last hopefully a lifetime for them. Like I've said before, I never want to lay in a hospital bed again saying to myself "why didn't I do that when I had the chance." We have been camping at Dinosaur Valley State Park in Texas, Fossil Rim Wildlife Preserve, the Austin Rodeo, Six Flags, NASA or Johnson Space Center, Kemah Boardwalk, the Houston Aquarium, and the list definitely goes on! I used to have bone marrow biopsies every three months; I am going on 6 months without one! This, however, is more of a personal choice though. It seems like every other ALL Ph patient I speak to only has them once a year or so, so I would like to be in their club too. haha. That is really all I have to report at this time. Life is fantastic and I'm gearing up for a great summer with Ryan and Rachel! Oh, and this June I will finally be going to New York to meet and celebrate life with Lorenzo! I am over the moon at the opportunity to thank him in person for being there for me through the good, bad and really ugly. Still fighting, Katie
