Better News

We went to the BMT unit today and they drew blood and told us that everything pretty much looked the same so they let us go early for a change. He had gotten a different bottle and started taking what was in it. It was the wrong medicine! It was something he had taken back in 2004 for his tri-glycerides. He thought it was the penicillian, they looked alot alike! So when we go back next Wednesday hopefully they will have the right reading then on his liver. We went to the funeral home this evening for a 26 year old man that had lymphnoma. He had a bone marrow transplant(his brother was his donor)in Houston at MD Anderson(a great hospital) He did have some complications along the way that prevented him from being free of going back and forth to Houston alot. He passed away and left a beautiful wife and two-year old daughter behind. It really got to me seeing the pictures of him and the slide show they had on a big screen showing his life from a child until a few weeks ago. There was so many people there and I told his wife that I had put myself in her shoes so many times. She was very brave and was standing right by him in the casket. I can't even begin to tell you the thoughts that were going through my head! Terry was very brave and strong even though I know what was going through his mind too! We are so blessed to have been able to come this far without major complications! Lidia(the NP at the BMT unit) told him he needs to be very careful in coming in contact with people and wash his hands very often! So if you see him and you are sick, please tell him! It could save his life! Bless you all for staying with us and I will update next week after we see the doctor! Love to you all! Alyce
