+49 (49 days since transplant)

Hello all! Long time no speak! In our case, no news is great news! Today we went to a friends house for an Easter Egg hunt we all had a ball. It was so nice to get out as a family and enjoy friends. L'il Eli is posing with the basket he won for winning at musical chairs. Big Eli is continuing to do well. He's still golfing, working out, and today he attended church for the first time since his transplant. Since we still have to be careful about germs we figured the Saturday service would be best for him since it wouldn't be crowded. His feet started tingling today and we're pretty excited about that because it's a sign that he's regaining feeling in his feet. The numbness in his feet is the last of the symptoms from the whole chemo regimen that he's still dealing with. Once he gets the feeling in his feet back he can start to jog, and he's itching to do that. He's not scheduled to go back to the doctor again for another 2 weeks. I mean, when I tell you we know that his progress is nothing more than a blessing from God, I am not kidding. Seeing him smiling and being so active makes us all feel better. We're making our plans for our summer vacation and looking forward to the future. My mom will be coming in from Florida to watch the boys while we get our own little trip in. We are truly looking forward to that. I'll be back in a few days. Thank you for your prayers and please keep 'em coming.
