Hi @carolgk The distraction of a nice roadtrip will be just the thing for you and your husband. It’ll be wonderful catching up with friends and ‘loving on the babies’ as you said. I love that phrase. 💕
A little reminder to be cautious around the little ones…they tend to be germ bombs.

I hope the 2nd donor validation goes quickly for you (and them!). At least you’ve already gotten the testing out of the way. I don’t think those have to be repeated. And it’s fantastic that you’ve been so responsive to the Vonjo. Pricey little nuggets, that’s for sure! One of my early meds was around the same price. I kept thinking what I could buy with that $28 grand per month. Haha, ya, ultimately I bought my 2nd life! Worth every penny. ☺️ Joking aside…this medication has gotten you to the point where you will be entering the transplant in great health!

Have a lovely reprieve and enjoy your vacation! Keep me posted with your updates! Hugs.

@loribmt Are you my good luck charm? : )

Yesterday late afternoon, I was notified by the BMT Nurse that Donor #2 is set for donation on June 23, 2026 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW! So happy and relieved.

BMT Nurse is trying to coordinate June 26 for my hospital Admission (not yet confirmed).

Thank you so much , Lori. I appreciate your support. It really does make a difference.
