I want to leave Johns Hopkins so badly that I practically need anti-anxiety meds just to keep me from bouncing off the walls.  We were admitted to Johns Hopkins on June 13th, 2019.  It is now August 14th, 2019, as I type this.

There is much to be thankful for.  It’s been nearly 60 days since my bone marrow transplant from an unrelated donor, and I haven’t displayed any issues, infections, or symptoms of Graft vs. Host Disease (GVHD).  Tomorrow we’ll be meeting with the Clinical Director for Oncology to review my medical history, followed by a full-body CT scan to verify I have no additional recurrences of cancerous tumors.  On Friday, I’ll have my Hickmann Catheter removed in interventional radiology.  Hopefully, we’ll be returning home on early Saturday morning.

God willing, of course… it’s been such a long journey, and there is much to be thankful for.  And now?  Now we’d simply like to go home and be reunited with our family & friends.
