Well I'm embarrassed to open this blog and see that I am three months behind in updating. No news is good news though. Annie has continued with robust, full health and just finished her two-year post transplant round of system-checks. She also has a few immunizations left to go. In her daily life she has been able to resume activities that were put on hold for almost ten years. She tried skiing again, played on a sports team and went on outings without medicine and close supervision. We're even ready to try adding back into our lives two things that had to be removed during her immunosuppression - houseplants and a pet!
Her illness and treatment have taken up so much of her childhood that we welcome the chance to just let it slip away. However we don't ever want to forget all for which we are grateful and we each find ways to continue saying thanks for the great blessing of her recovery.
Hopefully my next post will be to share the outcome of our attempt to contact her donor. With the passage of two years on May 18th we'll be able to write a letter to her donor and see if he'd like to be in contact with Annie. Hopefully it won't take another three months to report the news!
