Summer is Almost Here


Hay All,
Well, as you can tell, my posts are getting farther apart as I am getting farther along. It really has been a little over a year and I won't get the green light from my docs for many, many years but I am continuing to trust Him and live each day well. The few side effects I continue to suffer from are pretty tenacious but well deserved I guess after the ridiculous treatment regiment they put you through when you have this transplant. But enough already, I am stoked to report that I was able to help coach Tommy's Babe Ruth team to a 2cd place this past week. It was great because I missed most of last year's games. I am, at this moment, off all immune suppressant medications and my cheeks have returned to normal I've been told:) Laura is still working at Best Care a few days a week and is involved in a "boot camp" athletic regiment at our friends place called Elite Sports (elitesportsonline.com) here in SLO. She is officially in better shape than me and I am stoked for her (However, you now I can't let this last too long...ha ha). Katy is doing great and she and Meghan are dancing still. I am working more each day and everyone at work has been so awesome and all the hugs are really fun...keep it up:)
My friend Curt, who is 8 months post-BMT, looks great and my other friend Basma (http://www.carepages.com/carepages/BasmaKasim) just had her BMT @ Stanford recently. Keep her in your prayers and send her your support if you wish as she begins her journey.
Please continue your prayers for all of us as I will continue to pray for my many friends and family who have supported me to this point. The fight continues and I am winning so far! Thanks!!
