Kelly's body is doing what it is supposed to be doing. Kelly is engrafted! Which means the new stem cells have made it back home in the bone and are producing blood. He is feeling better than he did a few days ago and will continue getting better every day. His body has been through a lot and it will slowly heal itself and could take up to a year for him to fully recover. Yesterday they took him off his feeding tube and switched all his I.V. medications to oral. He is no longer teathered to his I.V. pole and is enjoying his freedom. He is still retaining fluid so he gets to wear these cute stockings. Since his last chemo treatment his hair had grown about 1/4" and he was even thinking about shaving but with this round of chemo and transplant it is all falling out again. He has been in the hospital for 20 days and is ready to go home. He is trying to eat and drink and do everything they tell him so he can get home as quickly as possible.
