Things have been going so well for Roger; his story is a textbook description of how an allogeneic bone marrow transplant should go. However, we've been cautioned not to get over-confident. There still could be some difficult days ahead that would be well within the range of normal side-effects. We shouldn't feel too disappointed if that happens.
He ate a real breakfast this morning, not a protein shake, and has been out walking laps in the corridor. His neutrophils continue to come in at a nice, slow and steady rate.
We said good-by to Casey and Taylor and sent them back to their respective families. I'm so grateful to them and their spouses for the tremendous gift of their visit. They helped me so much that I feel re-energized and able to continue helping Roger. We're going to get through this. I've been saying it all along, but now I'm beginning to believe it.
I'll try not to be cocky, but I am very, very pleased with the way things are going.
This is all great news. I would say that it is good to label your feeling as confident. Confidence means that both of you know what you want and better yet, you knows what needs to be done to get to the end game. Confidence can feel cocky...but it is not the same thing. No matter what side effects may or may not happen- Roger and you will deal with them. I am confident about that!
