Just a quick update!

But a significant one. Yesyerday morning I spoke on the telephone to the fellow who was chosen to be a donor from the bone marrow drives that we had. It wasn't just that I was speaking to him on the phone, it was the fact that he was at Dana-Farber and actually donating while we spoke! It was to be at least a six hour time frame for him - not counting the preparation that he had to go through beforehand. He had the same observation that I did about what the fluid looked like - tomato soup!

I was really thrilled - but he sounded like he was absolutely beaming to be able to do something that could possibly save the life of another!

Otherwise, quiet times. My eyes are doing well. We are just waiting to get our ducks in a row before we can proceed with the testing, fitting, etc. That will be in a few weeks. Meanwhile, this week is the last one before the photophoresis starts. So I'm just going to be enjoying each day moreso because we won't have to make the trip to Boston. Starting June 6th, that all comes to an end and the fun begins.

New eyes, reworked blood - it will be an interesting summer...
