Dec 14th - Jan 18th - It is now now day 75 (75 days since his transplant) and things are looking up. Cole has continued to battle VOD (veno occlusive disease) since November, however the last week or so has shown great improvement. Cole now has all of his drain tubes removed and is having all his remaining medications changed to oral in preparation for his release from the hospital. If all continues to go well, he may get released from the hospital at the end of this week. We will still need to remain in Boston for a while longer and bring him into clinic 2 or 3 times a week, but his release from the hospital would be welcome news.

His oncology numbers continue to look good as well. This is a good sign that the transplant is working. Hopefully if all continues to go well, we will be able to return Cole to Florida by the end of February.

Thank you to all for all the thoughts and prayers through this long and trying process!
