Journal entry by Troy Nicholas —
Dear Friends and Family:
Today is Sunday the 10th and this is day 111 post transplant for Vikki. Gladly, this is the first post we've made since returning to our home is Knoxville. It is so good to be back to our house after nearly 4 months away. Our daughters did a good job of minding the store while we were gone which was a great gift for us to have 2 adult children to look after things. We are truly blessed for the gifts that are our children and our lovely grandchild.
We have been slowly getting back up to speed around the house and unpacking from our time in Nashville. Vikki and I have been having fun with Mia and enjoying being around family. Now that we are home, we will continue to go back to Vanderbilt for check-ups every 2 weeks or so ensure that things are going well. Vikki's next trip back will be this week so we can see how things are going.
On a positive note, we received info from Vikki's 90 day marrow biopsy that was good. Her marrow dna is now over 99% donor dna and less than 1 % her original dna and there are no current signs of mutation and no new blasts (cancer cells). Excellent news so far and pray that it continues. Please keep up the good thoughts.
Take Care,
