In With the New

Sydney's cells are starting to engraft in Jenson's body!!! Jenson's cheeks are flushed, he has small rashes over his body, his white blood cells are slowly starting to climb, and he said today "my feet hurt" indicating the tingling many patients feel in their feet when engraftment occurs. The patient feels really crummy and just wants to be left alone when all this happens, but emotionally we are encouraged. The beginning of this long process of engraftment appears to be starting.


I had my camera ready yesterday when Jenson flashed a rare smile. Bald is beautiful! Here is to the shedding of the old and the start of a new life.

    What wonderful news! Finally tears of joy! Everyday when Jackson (8) gets home from school, we check your blog together for updates. Yesterday, we had an after school commitment and couldn't check. I can't wait to share with him your status (and newest picture of Jenson!) today. Lots of love and prayers from MN! Brenda
