Saturday March 27th

Charmaine continues to do well except for fatigue. The Dr has cut her steroids back and she is certainly feeling it. Some days she is pretty normal and other days she sleeps most of the day. Just no energy.

We only go to Dr now every 6 weeks.

Saturday March 13th....Update

We just arrived back from our 1st long trip since the transplant process began. Had a wonderful time with no problems. Charmaine even got to get a pedicure and manicure for the 1st time!! She was so excited.

The Dr. increased her Sprycell to the full strength of 50mg. She is having no side effects from it. He also decreased her steroids slowly weaning her off of them. He said her graft verses seems to be in check right now. Hopefully it is over.

We only go back to Emory every 6 weeks now!!!!!

All is very well now for her.

Thanks for caring about her so much.

March 2, 2010.....6 months Post Transplant!!

Boy do we remember where we were 6 months ago. Can you believe 6 months has past since her transplant!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Charmaine is doing fantastic now. She has very mild fatigue on some days but is mostly normal with little side effects from the meds she still has to take.

We are about to take our first trip away from home this weekend. We are going to Fla. with Anthony and Alicia to their place in Ozela down close to Crystal River for a few days.

We have a Dr. appointment Friday for a routine check up. I think the Doc will reduce her steroids a bit since all her skin rashes have gone.

Again, THANKS to all of you for your continued support and prayers for her.
