Hello there everyone! Can you believe it's been exactly a year since Jack had his transplant? We can't either!
Since the last post, Jack has been doing great. Not only is he playing softball and soccer, but he recently signed up for flag football and does a boot-camp style workout 4 times a week. Jack is off all but 1 medication, and he should be finished up with that one shortly.
We spent Jack's transplant anniversary flying back to Arizona from Sioux Falls, SD. This past weekend, we drove from Phoenix to Sioux Falls, stopping a few times to see family along the way. Jack and I both had a relaxing trip and enjoyed a fun vacation with great company. Thanks to everyone who entertained us or let us stay with them. We had a great time!
Over the next two weeks, Jack will undergo numerous tests- a stem cell transplant can be difficult on a person's body, so doctors will test Jack's lungs, heart and bone density to make sure everything is normal. They will also run a bone marrow biopsy to confirm that the transplant is working as it should. Jack will also be able to release some information about himself (name, email, etc.) to his donor, so that she can get in contact with Jack if she chooses to.
I will update the blog once we get all of the test results back. Until then, thanks again for the love and support!
