Hi Folks,
Luke's stem cell transplant went well Friday. No unexpected effects and by evening he was feeling really quite well overall - the Rider win helped round out a really good day for him. Saturday was tougher as expected also - the new stem cells in his system made him feel like he had the flu. Today (Sunday) he is feeling pretty good overall - has gone for a few laps in the hallway and is eating well again. The chemo he was on pre-transplant will cause irritation to his digestive system, so he's trying to eat and exercise as much as he can now. Days 12-16 after transplant are considered the toughest, but the recovery begins gradually thereafter. Given where he has been so far, he is certain he can handle what's to come.
Thank you all for your incredible support, thoughts, and prayers.
We'll keep you informed as things progress.
-Brian - on behalf of Luke, Jeannine, Brittany and Paul.
