Happy New Year
Best wishes for 2008. The Korns and Johnsons are looking forward to a healthier 2008.
Jill is on-course for her bone marrow transplant later this month. She is recovering from chemotherapy, which finished about a week ago. Her white blood cell count and platelets were very low following the chemotherapy but are now rising. She still has a couple of weeks of targeted radiation left. On January 24th she will go into the hospital at the University of Washington for about two weeks. She will have almost a week of pre-transplant treatment. On January 29th she will receive a mild full-body irradiation. On January 30, doctors will harvest bone marrow from Sylvia and infuse it into Jill's blood stream. Jill will remain in the hospital for one more week so that the medical team can monitor and control the inevitable graft versus host disease (GVHD). This will be followed by another 100 days of recovery in Seattle.
Thank you all for your holiday greetings and good wishes.
