Those of you who ski know that "graceful" does not imply "easy". It takes training, strength, luck and most of all, a lot of practice. It takes effort to make a run look effortless.
In the case of a bone marrow transplant, graceful means a smooth, steady and regular increase of blood cells. Roger has not experienced a sudden growth spurt that could bring unpleasant side-effects with it, but a regular day by day increase. It has been called "graceful," but it's not effortless, believe me. It has taken a medical team the size of a small army with all their combined years of education and experience. It has taken Roger's determination and willingness to work hard and it has taken an incredible amount of luck.
The trick is to make this look easy.
...along with a lot of hard work and loving support from his wife. ;)
