Laura’s been home for almost a week now. Other than feeling really tired and having bouts of nausea, she is doing fairly well. She hasn’t contracted a fever yet and sleeps much better at home than at the hospital. She even went to Noah’s soccer game last week. At the far end of the field, you could see Laura sitting there with her mask on with her mom who brought her. So we’ve been encouraged to have her home and see her feeling better than she has in a long while.
As you may have already been informed, Laura will start experiencing symptoms of the graft vs. host disease at the end of June. So we are in a holding pattern until then. Laura has appointments with the doctor today and Friday and on either day she’ll have a bone marrow biopsy to see if the marrow is fully her donor’s. That produces a certain amount of pain but it’s not as overwhelming since Laura’s been through it before.
I’m feeling more sane this past week. The boys seem to be doing better as well. They are getting ready to go on some summer trips right after school is out. We are so grateful for family and friends who are able to provide them with some fun this summer. Laura and I will be staying home and just passing time while she continues to rest. Maybe we’ll have another Indianapolis Summer Film Festival like we’ve had before!
Thank you as always for your faithful love and support. I’m tired right now and don’t have much to say but wanted to give you a brief update on what’s going on.
Love,
Brad
