DOT +31

Today the other "line" of the stem cell test came back. It too was 98% donor! This test was not as important because my defect was in the first test. So if the first one was fixed, we were good to go. But it is nice to see a full graft coming in.

The last few days I have had some stomach issues. They did a few test for some infections and so far so good. They are also leaning towards doing a scope down to my stomach because some of the symptoms are similar to the graft versus host disease. But the last 24 hours have been good so I think they will wait a while for that.

They gave us the weekend off from the clinic! Our first one in a while so Laura and I are not real sure what to do. Haha. We are so used to just getting up and heading to the clinic. But it will be nice to just relax this weekend. If at any point I start to feel bad, they said to just call and come in.

The news this past week has been what dreams are made of. But even more so, was to see all the support and cheering everyone has sent to us. We have been flooded with post, text, emails, and calls; and it has been amazing and put many of smiles on our faces. We are lucky people to have such a great support group pulling us through. I know Laura and I are ready to get back to Gboro and we will be there as soon as we can!
