Nature!

We ventured out into the real real world last week! It was AMAZING to be on the beach, in the presence of Whidbey Island old growth and Skagit Valley tulips, and most of all...go somewhere that is NOT A HOSPITAL!!! Hooray! Kalan is continuing to do great and each day is a little easier. We're both easing back to work (and school) slowly but surely. One day at a time.....

Day 31--Good bye SCCA!!!

Kalan was discharged from the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance yesterday! He is doing very well--still more tired than normal---but recovering quickly. We are so pleased with his care at SCCA and are so grateful for his medical team's help and guidance through this. Kalan will now be seen by his regular oncologist as he continues to heal from the transplant. He'll have another scan in a few months but his doctors are very optimistic that the cancer is completely gone! Congrats Kalan! Thank you all for your support through this--we couldn't have done it without you! We'll keep updating the blog for a bit longer so you can all celebrate when K gets the final results.

Day 21

Kalan is doing better every day. His fatigue is decreasing slowly and each day he's a little more himself. He completed his last day of IV fluid today which is a great jump towards the SCCA door. Now if only his taste would return (they say a few more weeks of everything tasting like cardboard. ugh.).........

Day 18

It's so great to be home! Kalan is doing very well albeit pretty fatigued. He is still receiving IV fluids every day at home but the docs are so pleased with his blood counts and general progress that he no longer has to go to the clinic every day. Real world here we come (very, very slowly)!!
