Well, I can’t believe we are here already, but it has been 6 months since Holly’s Bone Marrow Transplant. We are leaving on Thursday to head to Seattle for her Friday appointments. She will have cat scans done and meet with the doctor. I am very excited to see how she is doing.
Her strength has [...]
I can’t believe we have finally reached Day 100. Way to go, Holly! She is doing great. All of her tests so far are turning out to be negative for Graft Versus Host Disease (GVHD). I took a Long Term Care Class yesterday. I am very nervous about leaving our ’security blanket’ – Seattle Cancer [...]
Holly is cancer free! We just got the news on Friday from her bone marrow tests and she is still in remission! AMEN! Thank you all for your prayers and words of encouragement. This has been the longest year I can ever remember. Holly’s strength has empowered me to know there is no mountain to [...]
Holly was admitted into the hospital on Thursday due to a fever of 101.5. She broke the fever once we were admitted into our room. When Holly has a fever over 101 it is an automatic admission for 48 into the hospital. We were hoping to get discharged on Saturday for Halloween, but her fever [...]
Well, today we had clinic and it looks like we have a scheduled consult on November 10 for Holly’s test results. Next week we will have a busy week of testing. Her final bone marrow is scheduled for the 5th of November. I was noticing when I wrote the date as the title for this [...]
Well, it is hard to believe we are 5 days away from Day 80! Day 80 is an important part of Holly’s healing process because this is when we test to see if her cancer has returned and we also look at her from head to toe to see if Graft Versus Host Disease is [...]
So, it looks like we have a new problem. My mom announced to me today that she is putting the house that we rent from her on the market and we will have to be out of our house by January! Yikes! Another tidal wave to tackle. So, I am putting this post up if [...]
Well, we have 17 days to go until we do a bone marrow test.
Holly is doing well. She has had a cold/cough for awhile now which has been a pain when we are at the hospital, but other than that hasn’t slowed her down. She is having to drink lots which she is finding difficult. [...]
Hello everyone …
Just a quick note to give you all an update. Holly is doing fantastic. As the doctors said, ‘Holly is cruising right along!’ She ended up getting ‘our’ cold that we have all been passing around for the last month. Unfortunately, she got it and now I have it…why is it Moms are [...]
Well, Holly got out of the hospital on Day +36. We were so excited to have her come home. It was a big adjustment for all of us. Holly is taking almost 30 pills a day. She also isn’t able to drink very much, so we are putting her on hydration. Which means I have [...]
