The Journey Continues: Week 14 after transplant

It doesn't seem that long ago that Richard received his bone marrow transplant.  I know he thinks that time has went in slow motion.  He is tired of low blood counts and not being able to do want he wants but he is thankful that he is alive.  He is tired of going to the Dr.s every week and not hearing what he wants to hear.  Well yesterday he did hear a few things that made him smile.  It was so great to see him smile and he actually let out a small chuckle while at the Dr.s office.

He is 99.5 percent en grafted!!!  The Dr. was very pleased with this. He is going off of one of the medicines today that does mess with his white blood counts.  They think that in a few weeks things will be going much better.  We were told that the en grafting is one of the tough times of the process. Hopefully this process will soon be over.  His white counts were very low and he got a shot.  Will get one today, tomorrow and Monday plus blood work Friday and Monday.

He is tired, cranky, stubborn and bullheaded but he is still amazing.  He has worked every hour that he can and is looking to the future.  He does appreciate all the prayers and so do I!!
