Day 104

It's been quite awhile since our last post, and although many of you have heard the good news, we thought we'd share here just in case. Jack's blood numbers have been holding steady for awhile (low, but not alarming) so they did all of his day 100 tests early. His lung function tests came back great and his bone marrow biopsy came back completely cancer free- and 100% female! That means his donor's cells have made themselves at home. Jack also got his Hickman catheter out last week, and it left quite the hole in his chest. It's still healing, but it looks better each day.

Before

After

To celebrate Jack's day 100, and to thank all of the volunteers who helped at the Be The Match registration drive, we went to a Diamondbacks game on the 25th. Even though the D-backs lost, it was still a lot of fun. 

The next few months will still be filled with doctors visits and medications, but those will slow down even more as we move on. His hair is starting to come back, and he is feeling much better. He even has a softball game scheduled for next week!
Things are starting to settle down quite a bit, so there won't be as many blog posts in the future, but we will update if anything changes or as we pass milestones along the way. Thank you again for all of the ways you have supported us for the past 6 months. We are truly blessed to have such a large support system around us. Thank you!
