We hope that everyone had a fantastic New Year's Eve and will continue to have a wonder New Years. We had a good evening of fireworks, sparkling grape juice, and champagne with our lovely neighbors! The kiddos had a good time, Ronan escaped with a scraped forehead, nose, and lip. Oh well, thats boys for you.
We went to see the nurses on Thursday and Jason has officially graduated from the fast track part of transplant!!! They did a fantastic job of keeping up with his blood counts and getting appointments scheduled for us for the future. His blood counts are doing great still. His white blood cell count is a little high but we are attributing that to him still being on steriods. When we see Dr. Nieto we will start weaning him off of them. That will be the first time he has not taken them since March of last year! Jason is feeling really good and he is walking with the walker next week we should be getting in to see Physical therapy so he will improve even faster!
Its amazing how great it feels to finally be able to plan things for our future. Obviously we dont know what it holds but its good to be able to say " We should go on a mini trip in March dont you think?" It will be three years in February that we have been able to plan something like that.
We are being cautiously optimistic about these transplants. Everything points to this finally eliminating the Cancer we just dont want to go overboard. Im sure you all can understand. J says that he has a good feeling about this time so I will take that. Again thank you everyone for all the support you showed to our family last year! Hopefully we will be able to return the favor this year!
Happy New Years! Love, Jason, Kimberly, and Ronan
