Transplant Time!

Harrison here,
This past month of November has been a real roller coaster. I was treated with my third round of Chemotherapy at the beginning of November . I was in the hospital most November. It was tougher than the first two chemotherapies and keep me down with a lot of infections. I was released on Thanksgiving afternoon. It was great to go home and have a little turkey dinner with my family. The fallowing week I had a bone marrow biopsy and received the result back say my bone marrow was clean. Meaning NO LEUKEMIA! Remission! As soon as we found that out we celebrated at Texas Roadhouse and it was the same day as my older brother Makay's birthday. What a gift!

After that I also met with the Doctors and we decided that we need to move forward quickly with the Bone Marrow Transplant before the leukemia would grow back. The transplant Doctor wanted me to come in on my birthday but, we asked him if I could come in a day later which wasn't a problem. So on December 10th my family and me had a Christmas Party/Birthday Party. It was fun and good to be with them. Now I'm on my third day of Radiation and that is going alright. It gives me pretty bad stomach aches. I'm also waiting for day one of the transplant when I get my new bone marrow from my sister. Thanks Amanda!

I"ll be here at the University of Utah Hospital for a month or two. So if I don't see you all I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New year. Thank you for all of your comments, support, and love. Sincerely,

Harrison
