Day "93"

Can you believe that in seven days Jeff will hit his "100th Day" mark? Really, when I look back, the whole transplant process has passed rather quickly! Especially the last month where Jeff has been out of the hospital. Jeff had all his post transplant tests yesterday. We will not receive the results until next week, but we are praying for good news. Yesterday, for some reason, each and every blood count had lowered from the previous week. Jeff had had the best week post transplant yet, so we were expecting his counts to have sky rocketed...not dropped. Anyway, the doctor was not concerned. He simply said that if he hangs out in that range next week, they won't take his central line out before going home. Yup...that is right! He is still planning on releasing Jeff next week! I have absolutely loved Park City! We have wonderful accommodations (thanks to the Miners), my kids and I love the snow, and we are fairly close to the hospital. But, I can not wait to return to my own home in "sunny" St. George where I can turn my kids loose in my back yard and do household chores without two children at my feet! I know that Jeff is extremely anxious as well. His routine and social life will not change much, but at least he will be in the comforts of his own home.

This is a wonderful post - we will be praying that things work out and you will be able to come home as planned.
Thank you for loving each other the way you do. We admire your strength and courage. You have been an inspiration to all of us that have followed your "adventure" through your blog. What a great example of love and sacrifice!
We have a new saying in our home due to Austin being in Australia -"Kia Kaha" which means stay strong! Best wishes.

I am glad that the time is passing quickly for you. I can't believe the 100 days are here already. We will miss having you so close. We know you will be glad to be home. It was great to see you all last Monday. Have a great week.

We are SO GRATEFUL that you have almost put in your northern Utah time and hope to see (at least via phone when you feel up to it) you back home "where the summer sun spends the winter!" Dixie is a great place to be, and we actually continue to pray for rain and snow.

You are also in our prayers daily, and we're confident that you will be winding your way home soon.

Much love,

Uncle Brent and Aunt D'On
