Enjoying Life

Moved into new apartment with cute girlfriend, started summer semester, practicing swing at driving range, golfing, camping... That's Eric's life 5 months post transplant. We are amazed and grateful and enjoying life.

Sometimes this past year seems completely surreal. An anonymous donor stepped up and saved Eric's life - twice. A skillful and caring BMT team never stopped trying and never let us down. Over a hundred days in the hospital, countless blood and platelet transfusions (thank you to all those donors too), endless blood draws, chemo, chemo and more chemo.... And we have our miracle.

A great story in today's Ottawa Sun relates how another anonymous group of strangers makes sure that bone marrow transplants work.

Have Marrow, Will Travel

I wonder who made sure that Eric's new marrow arrived safe and sound?

Happy Mother's Day to all the Moms out there. Enjoy every day - make it all count!
