Bucky Update: 1/1/13

Hello family,

I saw Bucky today, he seemed to be doing well for day 4 of his transplant...of course what do I know...

His platelet count was ridiculously low, so he got some yummy platelets. Haha, they actually look pretty gross like sludgy apple juice.

The doctors say he is doing well.

He is beginning to get the mouth sores from the radiation and chemo, hopefully they won't get any worse. He really can't afford to lose any more weight.

He got a dose of methotrexate today (it's an antimetabolite...and I believe the same thing he got in his spinal taps).

He still has hair, but it is thinning rapidly. It's getting a little scraggly in the back, I think he is considering cutting his own hair.

I know this is a pretty boring update, but right now, boring is good...

Love you all. Thanks for your prayers.

Tara
