Progress

I have met with the transplant team and we are on target for the near future. My heart is good, breathing good and I have been measured for the radiation treatment. My blood platelet count was really low on Wednesday so I got a bag as I was giving my Bone Marrow Sample. Jill, one of my team members did a great job and it was OK, not as bad as some of the others. For the men reading this call me if you want a good guy story I can not post.

Wendy and I have found and booked a hotel to stay at so she can be nearby during my first month in the hospital and for the two months after I am released. With luck I should be back home around Valentine's Day.

I will finish up this week at work and take short term disability. My team at work are well trained so I expect the place will not see any drop in production or quality.

Again Thank You all for your encouragement and prayers. I also appreciate your support of Wendy during this stressful time. If you get an oportunity to give blood or blood products please do so because the life you save might be mine.
