Finally Heading Home :-)


Kancho has truly earned this t-shirt!

The two week recovery period has gone as well as can be expected, and Kancho has faced all the discomforts like a true champ! We are 99.9% sure we will be heading home tomorrow after Kancho gets his catheter removed. This is one of the things he has been looking most forward to. The catheter has been such a pain to have coming out of his chest where it is hard to disguise even with heavy clothing.
We have met so many wonderful people here and will not forget the positive aspects of this journey for sure! We know we are not fully out of the woods yet, but are soaking up the significant steps toward full remission and cure. I will update the blog again when Kancho's PET scan results are read after Easter.

God Bless,
Ali, Kancho and Kylee

Calling Chapel Hill home for now :-)


Kancho was discharged this past Sunday as anticipated! Kylee and Kancho enjoyed a long embrace as they have not seen one another in 25 days. We moved into an apartment in Chapel Hill so we can be close by the hospital for check-ups. Kancho had his first check-up today and all looks "as expected". Kancho has lost 25 lbs in the past 24 days so he is trying to regain his appetite and strength over the next two weeks. We are excited to be at the end of the transplant process and are looking forward to getting back to Kannapolis very soon!

Thanks for all the continued thoughts and prayers for Kancho's successful recovery.

Luv,
Ali, Kancho and Kylee
