Steve was feeling relatively great through most of December and we had a wonderful Christmas together. Steve started out the New Year with a hospital stay from Jan. 1-5 where he got the second "mega dose" of chemo. He did pretty well with it and is at home recuperating nicely.
Steve's doctor has informed him that even though none of his siblings were a bone marrow match to him, the national registry has 30 great matches. They have started the process of notifying 5 of those matches and will be choosing the best one. The bone marrow transplant will take place in the last half of February, as soon as the donor is ready.
In the meantime, Steve is waiting for his blood count numbers to build up again and he will go into the hospital for 5 days at the end of January for his third big blast of chemo. We have been very thankful that he has not had any of the radical side effects of this chemo so far. Steve is looking forward to a calm and restful next 3 weeks.
