IV Port Removed

I just found out that after having a groshong IV port in Anthony's chest for a little over a year, he is now finally free of it. They were able to remove the port. Congratulations Anthony, little steps toward regaining your health and freedom back. It will be nice to be able to shower without having to 'tape up' the port.

Good news for the following month

I apologize to all of you faithful followers out there. There have been some events in my own life that have occupied my time and prevented me from posting for awhile.

Anthony is still recovering but things are looking good. According to Brittany, Anthony may be able to have his IV port (that has been in his chest since this all began) removed in about a month. That will provide him with some more freedom.

When I have spoken with Anthony, he seems to be happy and well. He still has a cough, nausea, and headaches.  It would seem that he experiences 'flu-like' symptoms still more often than he would like, but they have lessened in frequency so this is good.  I just have to think that the human body is quite miraculous in what it can endure and how incredible it is that it can rebuild in such a way as what Anthony's is now doing. I am so thankful for modern medicine.

Thank you all once more!
Sincerely,
Nicole

Current Scope Looking Good!

I received some very happy news. Anthony was told that all the results of the scopes/biopsies that were performed on him a little over a week ago showed no signs of Graft vs. Host disease! This is wonderful. It means that things are really looking up for him. Thank you for all of your prayers!! As long as Anthony can continue to heal from the pneumonia...and regain his strength and stamina... we have signs of a positive future for Anthony and his little family!
