2018 - January 6 - Being Thankful

Yes, I know this post is a little late.  Sorry...    A couple of things happened... Our wonderful nurse practitioner, Sarah Weigand went on maternity leave in mid November.  I've been the only doctor for what is a 3 physician load practice and, well, going it alone has been rather busy!! That is an understatement.  I'm happy to report that Sarah and Rick Chrisman (Sarah's married name) had a beautiful girl, Taylor at 8lb on black Friday!  They're doing great. WE are so excited for Sarah and Rick!  She'll be back at the practice in a little over a week.

Another reason is that I had a prolonged case of bronchitis through the holidays, and well, it was tough getting through the last 2-3 weeks!  But, I'm much better now.


What else am I thankful for?  First and foremost, my wife, Jan and... ALSO our wonderful family.  See our family picture.  We felt lucky to get all of us together 2 weeks before Christmas at Kristin and Chris' house for a pre-Christmas family get together.  We hope you had a Merry Christmas!

I am also thankful for all of you who are reading this blogpost and all the other friends and family we have.  Passage of time has reconfirmed a crucial and vital reality... we all are here for others.  I am so blessed to have all of you show your concern and pray for us.  It is pleasantly overwhelming to think about!  THANK YOU!

I'll post an audio blog and update on my MDS later but for now... thank you for being you!

    Tripp: The holidays are busy enough with family . Bringing your patients along as well is - well typical of your caring spirit. The count of children and grandchildren is truly bountiful. We of the community have you and all your family in our thoughts. Cheers to a healthy new year.

January 28 - Just in - I am going to receive a bone marrow transplant

Image
In the last 2 weeks, we received much amazing news.  In quick succession, we found out: I am going to receive a bone marrow transplant (actually, it is a stem cell transplant) at Johns Hopkins on March 9. All four of our children were matches for the transplant. The one child I didn't expect to be the donor is..... ?  [Listen to the audioblog post below for who it is!] As previously mentioned, the IDHIFA oral chemotherpay worked miraculously on my MDS and the blast count in my bone marrow dropped below the 5% cut-off for consideration of a bone marrow (or stem cell) transplant. As exciting as this is, the reality of the details of getting the bone marrow transplant have set in: Getting all of the extensive testing (CT scans, Echocardiogram, EKG, PFT's, lab, repeat Bone Marrow Biopsy 😓etc) needs to be done prior to the transplant. Finding a place to live for the 2+ months Jan and I will be in Baltimore (so as to get treatments and checkups at Johns Hopkins on

February 16 - New Information

This past Monday I had a difficult bone marrow biopsy lasting 1 1/2 hours.  Jan and I have been waiting for the results and we got the results late yesterday afternoon My bone marrow revealed that... I AM IN REMISSION! This means that the biopsy found no evidence of cancer in the biopsy and the chimer test shows that there is only donor cells (and none of mine)! Praise and honor to GOD   (and the staff at Johns Hopkins).. If all goes well,  I should be discharged early next week and return home to finish recovery at home and then return to the office on a limited basis (at least at first).  Still a long way to go.... So... YOUR PRAYERS and support have worked.  Jan and my family is greatly relieved and also grateful. Bless you all!

May 29 - Out of the hospital

It is good to be out of hospital after being in 47 days!  Out of the hospital now 7 days and good to be back with my wife and not having to 'survive' each day in the hospital.  Now, each day I go to IPOP  (the unit called "Inpatient/outpatient").  Lab drawn and any needs addressed from tranfusions to getting IV electrolytes, etc.  Progressing each day.  I am very deconditioned.  I am regaining strength slowly each day.  Currently getting over Graft vs Host disease.  A frequent complication where the donor cell are still 'attacking me'.  It is fine line since there should some GvH disease which helps the donor's cells 'get rid' of my cancerous cells.  Taking high dose steroids but that's the price to pay to get over the GvH disease. Engraftment has occurred!  Effectively, this means that Erika's stem cells have established.  So...Erika's stem cells are currently producing the white blood cells.  The other cell lines (red blood cells
