DOT +10 Bye Bye Hair..

Today was a big start to being bald. Austin brought his clippers and we decided on a buzz cut #6! Below are some pics....

Great reports today and we hope for many more. They will continue the shots until my wbc gets to 4 or above. Its is a lot like revving up a boat engine, getting a big burst at first. Once you slow the cell reproduction down the counts will go down a little. But then they soon build up after that when the body is warmed up and back to making good cells.

Do I finally look Laura's age? Will I pass for buying John's Rum?

As you can see, we are trying to laugh as much as we can!

God is Good!

This is our blog to share the journey of a stem cell transplant between two brothers. Burns, who was diagnosed with CGD at age 2, and has been fighting the disease ever since. Burns needed at stem cell transplant in order to cure his illness. His older brother John, was recently tested by Dr. Rebecca Buckley, Burns' doctor since age two, and is a perfect stem cell donor match. With many prayers and advances in medicine, a bone marrow transplant is now an option for a "cure".

Here is where we begin our journey. Laura, Burns' wife, and Burns will be moving to Durham, January 1oth to be close to Duke. The blog will be updated by Laura, Burns, Derry (Burns & John Mom) John and Eliza (John's wife).
