Journal entry by Erik Hansen —
Thought I would give an update on how things are going. Since getting home, I’ve struggled with nausea and eating. I’m doing much better, eating regularly and gaining back some weight. My energy has been increasing and in general I feel pretty good 😊
I woke up Sunday morning and noticed some issues with my right arm. When I started to explain it to Erik, my speech was mostly gibberish. We went to the ER and I was diagnosed with a stroke. I was given an injection of a medication that dissolved the clot and was admitted to the Neurological ICU. Over the course of the day and into the evening my symptoms resolved and I was able to come home later in the day yesterday. So grateful for the care I received from all the doctors and nurses. They do not think this is related to the transplant. I’ll be doing more follow-up testing to figure that out.
Thank you for your continued support💜
