I finally got to head back to the pediatric hospital!! (seems weird to say at 35...haha) Laura and I loved seeing all the old faces around the clinic and seeing Dr. Buckley. She looked great and just amazes me that she is still going strong as ever.
My appointment went well while she did a ton of labs. I just talked to her tonight and got the results which show that my immune system still has some building to do. Nothing to be alarmed about but she wants to keep an eye on it till it builds all the way back up. She tested 3 out of the 4 parts of the immune system which took some time in the lab before the results got back. A lot of the test involved the functions of my t cells which were hurt pretty bad by the chemo.
I am doing fine but I have gotten a TINY case of graft versus host disease on my skin. I started back on my immunospuressment drugs and some ointment to put on the rash. That worked great and it has gotten much better. We were thrilled to hear it was such a small case and it should be all over shortly. I saw Dr. Chao today and head back in 2 weeks to keep an eye on it.
Everyone is still doing well and I pinch myself everyday to make sure this was all not a dream. Miracles do happen!
