Yesterday at the clinic went as usual - only needed magnesium. Got good news from the nurse practicioner - bone marrow biopsy showed no leukemia cells and no myeldysplasitic cells. So everything is working as it should be. Yeah! We have today off so plan on walking to the movie theater to see "Golden Compass". Will give movie review tomorrow.
Debbie & Craig came out last night and we went out for mexican food - excellent! Debbie just did the Kiawah marathon last weekend and says all went well. Craig has a new job which sounds really great. We caught them up on the status of the clinical study Peter is participating in - yesterday they drew several extra tubes of blood for the study and we have been told they are looking for a baby who needs open heart surgery who would match Peter for transplant purposes. They would like to do the transplant the week after Christmas. Now we have to wait and see if there are any donors out there.
We were reminded again yesterday at the clinic just how fortunate and blessed we are. One of the ladies we have gotten to know fairly well was told Tuesday that her transplant failed and she will need to start all over again. She was devasted and we were shocked - we thought it was too late to fail - guess not. She was meeting with the team after we saw her and will update us on Friday. I can't imagine being in her place. I did agree with her, you gotta do what you gotta do, so there is no point in dwelling on it.
Have a great day.
Wendy
