8 months since the transplant

I wrote this post back in June.  Somehow, I forgot to post.  So, here it is goes, back from June 2012...


No news is a good news, right?  I have not posted much about Jason since... February.    It has been 8 months since he had his bone marrow transplant by a non related donor.

Our doctor visits have been once a month now.  His blood levels are improving (still not normal level yet), Dr. Petersdorf looks at the chart without any excitement, he is rather excited to talk to Tommy about preschooler's life is about and to find out where we are going to get lunch after the appointment.  Jason got off Tacrolimus (the main medication to privent GVHD) about a month ago.  Everything is going well.

Our typical questions are what Jason can do and can't do.  He feels normal, and sometimes it's hard to remember that he still has restrictions on what he can do and can not.  He started to drive Tommy to preschool and back,  goes watch Ty's little league baseball games, goes out to lunches with friends, loves to go Yoga, etc. I ask every appointment if Jason can start doing yard work... still "NO".  Buffet, pets, crowded closed places- No.  Work... soon.

We are excited for this summer. Hopefully, we have a great summer, and Jason will go back to work in the fall.

Love,
Mayumi
