I remember posting back during our stay in the hospital after the bone marrow transplant that our days had become rather boring. I also remember that we were quite satisfied with that report! Weeeeell, we are still boring.
Michael's doctor actually called him "boring" at his clinic visit last week. They were pleased enough with his progress that they did not need to see him for two weeks. He is having absolutely no problems. No side effects from the transplant. No colds, fevers, viruses. He is gaining a little bit of weight. He has energy and is keeping up with his physical therapy regimen. He is staying current with all of his school work. The days are passing quickly and routinely.
Michael has a little more than two weeks left of his post-100 days of isolation and dietary restrictions. His days are over on February 4th, but we'll have to wait until an appointment on the 7th to find out what Michael's new restrictions will be. He'll have another bone marrow biopsy on that day to again evaluate the success of the transplant and look for the presence of any cancer. The 7th is beginning to loom rather large on the horizon. It will be wonderful for Michael to have more freedom, but knowing that we'll be waiting for biopsy results again is difficult.
Until then, we'll pray to continue enjoying our uneventful days.
