So let me start by apologizing......Jen has been home now for close to two weeks. In my mind it doesn't really feel like it since she travels to Hopkins every three days or so. We are still battling the fungal pneumonia she developed, only we get to do it from home. We have IV bags and and IV tree....it is starting to look like a small-scale MASH unit in our living room! Because of her setback, the date of her bone marrow transplant has been pushed back. She is scheduled to be admitted on March 29, undergo a nasty week of chemo, and then receive the bone marrow on April 5th. Jen's sister Marie flies in this week to have a complete evaluation done (basically a glorified physical) and then will come back on the 5th to have the bone marrow procedure done. After that we are looking at probably three weeks more of hospital stay, and an unknown number of weeks of daily check-ups. Again, I want to thank everyone for everything you've done, even the simple act of writing back an e-mail!! Big thanks to my cousins Rob and Alyson for a laptop for Jen to play DVDs on in the hospital! We love everyone, and hope these e-mails find great things happening in your lives. I'll post for you all again soon....
