Can you believe one year ago today Matt received his bone marrow transplant?! Happy Re-Birthday Matt! When someone receives a bone marrow transplant, they call it a re-birthday.   

It is hard to believe that it’s already been a year.  We wanted to provide everyone with a final update.  Matt is doing well and living life normally with no restrictions. Matt will continue to receive all of his childhood vaccinations every other month for the next year at which point he will be fully vaccinated. The doctors will continue to monitor him closely for the next year with weekly bloodwork to make sure there are no signs of a relapse. 

He had his 1 year bone marrow biopsy in the middle of May. The results came back just a few days ago and he is still fully engrafted and there are no signs of leukemia in his bone marrow.  Praise the Lord! if there are no signs of leukemia by 6/25/23 Matt’s doctors will consider him cured! 

Thank you everyone for your thoughts, support and prayers over the last year!
