Bad to the bone...marrow


No surprises today, the doctors recommended we begin the process of an unrelated bone marrow transplant for Annie as the ATG seems to have not worked.  She knew this was coming and thus was calm.  Our first job is to select a hospital and transplant team then begin the donor search.  Their hope is to transplant within three months.

There is nothing pleasant about a bone marrow transplant, you wouldn't wish it on your worst enemy.  However we have learned that being miserable about it just makes it worse.  Thus we will continue to squeeze whatever good things we can into the cracks between realities and spin, spin, spin a tale for Annie's benefit.  She has always been happy to wring whatever fun she can out of it all as evidenced by her rendition of "Bad to the Bone."  This is the last of her three-verse parody.

  1. Love the singer! <B Good work! Is there any special type person you would be looking for as far as a donor goes? Is there a way to direct people to registar for a type BM?

    Not sure if this makes any sense but please tell me what I can possibly do to help find a good donor?
