Journal entry by Joyce Weaver —
On Monday Janessa spend the day at Hershey Medical for post-transplant tests. Pulmonary, EKG, ECHO, Bone Density, Labs and a doctor visit. The chimerism test results: 90% of her cells are Logan’s! (the doctors would have called it a success if 25% of her cells were Logan’s.) The doctors are quite pleased and feel the transplant is a success! PTL!

Janessa is doing well and has resumed all activities. She currently has two part time jobs, Patches Creamery and does nanny care for two boys. In October she will be teaching kindergarten at Reach Christian School in Myerstown.
Her brother Nathaniel (Nate) is at Hershey Medical currently having the same transplant done. Today is transplant day for him. If you are interested in following his journey, His caring bridge site is: https://www.caringbridge.org/visit/nateweaver
