Tomorrow is "Day 1"

To our family and friends,

Tomorrow is the beginning of a new chapter in our story. In the BMT world, the day after the transplant is known as "Day 1." To us, it means we have made it over the mountain and we are on our way down. It is the start of the journey toward healing and a life long remission. The last six months have been unbelievably difficult, yet so very blessed. Todd and I know that we have made it this far because of you. There were times when life was entirely too overwhelming, but then someone left a card on our door, brought us dinner, or helped us pay our bills. So often we were carried by the generosity of those that love us. And for that we will be eternally grateful and humbled.

Looking forward...the next few weeks are going to be tough. The nurses are doing an amazing job of keeping Todd comfortable as his body heals and accepts the stem cells. We are praying for limited graft vs host complications. Overall, he is in good spirits and is doing everything he can to stay strong and healthy. We will do our best to keep everyone posted on the recovery process.

All our love,
TKG (and Hillary too)
