SHE'S FINALLY HOME!!!
Charmaine is so happy to be home. She is feeling great but just a little tired. We knew the fatigue would be setting in soon, and they warned us it would. Her skin looks so much better, and the rash is very light now. The doctor eventually told us that she didn't have true Acute Graft Vs. Host Disease (GVHD) because it didn't have all the right symptoms, just slight Hyper Acute GVHD during her engraftment which cased the rash. So her new cells are definitely making their presence known and are taking off like crazy...faster than most other patients at Emory we suspect.
She is still keeping up with her friends she met at Emory and their progress. Ann, Camille, and Erin. Erin was ahead of Charmaine with her transplant and got to go home last Saturday. We are praying for them and wish them well in their recoveries!
A SPECIAL THANKS TO THE GROUP OF FRIENDS WHO CAME AND CLEANED THE HOUSE ON SUCH SHORT NOTICE TO GET READY FOR HER RETURN HOME! SHE LOVES YOU DEARLY.
WELCOME HOME CHARMAINE!!! We are praising God for all he has done!
