Good morning, It’s been a few months and I’m just wondering how your husband is doing after his transplant. I know there was a postponement because of an infection so I’m hoping the transplant was able to take place and that your husband is recovering nicely! Are you still in Rochester?

Thanks for checking on us. Tom had his BMT on Dec. 9th. He had some syncopal episodes and they were afraid he would fall so he was an inpatient for 10 days. He didn’t have any mouth sores but did have a very painful throat and esophagus. That was his worst side effect.
He got out of the hospital on Christmas Eve and was able to leave Rochester on New Years Eve. Recovery is going very well. Eating again and walking with just a cane. He has had some irregular heart beats and will be receiving a heart monitor tomorrow. I think his care team is very happy with his progress for a 78 year old.
Scheduled back to Mayo in March. We couldn’t have been happier with his care at Mayo Rochester. His care team was amazing!!
